Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "postnews".

  Version         : 0.6.1-1

* URL             : https://sourceforge.net/p/postnews
* License         : GPL2+
  Section         : net

It builds those binary packages:

    postnews   - Post Usenet articles via NNTP from the command line

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

    dget -x

Changes since the last upload:

* New upstream release.
* Rewrite long description in debian/control.
* Update jame@rocasa.us copyright years in debian/copyright.
* Update debian/rules to reflect upstream script name change.
* Add the new file 'debian/clean' to help with debian/rules change.
* Update 'Correct_shabang_line.patch' for new upstream v0.6.1 version.
* Removed comments and unneeded blank lines from the debian/watch file.
* Set Standards-Version to 3.9.6 in debian/control, no changes required.
* Change the debhelper version from '8' to '9' in the debian/compat and
    debian/control files


Also;  I am now a Debian Maintainer and I would appreciate having DM upload 
permissions added for my 'postnews' package after this new version is 
uploaded
