Dear mentors,

I have DM upload access of package "shadowsocks-libev", but since
there's a library soname version up, so I am looking for a sponsor for
it.

There's no other package in the archive depends on this library, so I
think there's no need to proceed the library transition.

 * Package name    : shadowsocks-libev
   Version         : 2.5.3+ds-1
   Upstream Author : Max Lv <max.c.lv@gmail.com>
 * URL             : https://www.shadowsocks.org
 * License         : GPL-3+
   Section         : net

It builds those binary packages:

 libshadowsocks-dev - lightweight and secure socks5 proxy (development files)
 libshadowsocks2 - lightweight and secure socks5 proxy (shared library)
 shadowsocks-libev - lightweight and secure socks5 proxy

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

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/shadowsocks-libev/shadowsocks-libev_2.5.3+ds-1.dsc
