Bug#702072: RFS: tilda/1.1.4-1 [ITA]

[Lanoxx <lanoxx@gmx.net>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "tilda"

 * Package name    : tilda
   Version         : 1.1.4-1
   Upstream Author : Sebastian Geiger <lanoxx@gmx.net>
 * URL             : https://github.com/lanoxx/tilda
 * License         : GPL-2
   Section         : x11

It builds those binary packages:

  tilda - Gtk based drop down terminal for Linux and Unix

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

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/tilda


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

  dget -x 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tilda/tilda_1.1.4-1.dsc

More information about tilda can be obtained from 
https://github.com/lanoxx/tilda.

I have already spawned a discussion about switching to a new upstream 
location and becoming new maintainer at this bug #695574 [1].

Please also see bug #583248 [2], which states that the current 
maintainer is MIA since 2010-05-26.

Note that I'm targeting unstable not experimental, because I believe 
that given the amount of bugs my package fixes makes this package more 
stable than the one which is currently in unstable.

 Changes since the last upload:
