  Description     : A modal text editor, inspired by Kakoune/Neovim

Helix-editor is a terminal-based text editor, written in Rust. It has powerful
features:
  - Vim-like modal editing
  - Multiple selections
  - Built-in language server support
  - Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing via tree-sitter

I have already ported this tool for OpenBSD (see editors/helix in OpenBSD ports
source tree).

I would like to package and maintain it for Debian distribution. But I need some
help/sponsor because it will be my first package, work with the Rust packaging
team could be a good start.
