Hi all,

TL;DR: I'm looking for people to help with packaging the new upstream release
of mawk into Debian. Co-maintainers are also welcome.

Mawk is an important implementation of AWK and is of Priority: required.
However, Debian's mawk hasn't been updated even if there's a new upstream
since 2009. You can find some of the new upstream's comments over this issue
at https://invisible-island.net/mawk/ .

Currently as the new package maintainer, I believe it's necessary to find more
co-maintainers and uploaders who are more familiar with AWK than me. Tasks
include packaging new upstream releases, testing possible regressions and
going through everything currently lying in the Bug Tracking System. The
previous work can be found on Salsa packaging repo. I'm open to direct git
commits on Salsa and NMUs as long as they do not introduce obvious regression
（and break all reverse build-dependencies, a.k.a. almost everything in the
archive :-).

Since the new version has already settled in the Debian archive, I'm closing
the RFH bug.

Please note that I am still looking for co-maintainers for package mawk. If
you are interested, please let me know.
