Hi Sean,

You're welcome, and thank you for the assistance.  'Hope you're
enjoying settling into your new home :-)

I think src:writegood-mode is ready to upload.  Since Antoine is going
to be busy for a while would you please consider sponsoring this one?

It builds these binary packages:

    elpa-writegood-mode - Minor mode for Emacs to improve English writing

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

    https://mentors.debian.net/package/writegood-mode

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

    dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/writegood-mode/writegood-mode_2.0.2-1.dsc

Also available here:

    git clone ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-emacsen/pkg/writegood-mode.git

Sincerely,
Nicholas
