Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wordgrinder":
* Package name: wordgrinder
Version: 0.7-1
Upstream Author: David Given <dg@cowlark.com>
* URL: http://cowlark.com/wordgrinder
* License: MIT
Section: editors
It builds those binary packages:
wordgrinder
wordgrinder-x11
wordgrinder-ncurses
wordgrinder-doc
...and it's uploaded on Mentors:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/wordgrinder
(Both 0.7-1 and a now obsolete 0.6-3~bpo8+1 version are uploaded
there. Please ignore the 0.6 version; I haven't figured out how to
delete it yet.)
WordGrinder's not a new package --- it's been in Debian since wheezy.
Unfortunately my existing sponsor has retired and is unable to upload
the new version, so for the this version I'm looking for a new
sponsor. The package should be in pretty good shape as the old sponsor
waa pretty conscientous; it's lintian clean, has hardening enabled,
and uses dquilt for patching.
Disclaimer: when I'm wearing my other hat, I am the upstream author.
Changes since the last upload:
- New upstream release
PTAL, and LMKWYT.
