Hi!

I'm the main developer of EmulationStation Desktop Edition (ES-DE) which 
is a heavily modified fork of the RetroPie EmulationStation frontend.
I've updated the application to be truly cross-platform, running on 
Linux, BSD Unix, macOS and Windows.

Two days ago I sent an RFP request to get this packaged as I 
unfortunately won't have time to package the application for all the 
different operating systems that are supported.
Maybe you would be interested in maintaining this?
I don't think there is anything equivalent on Debian at the moment.
I do distribute .deb packages via the project website https://es-de.org 
but it would be nice to also get this added to the repositories as it 
would be helpful for the users.

Here is the RFP:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=992096

I'm afraid I made two mistakes in the RFP though, as I copied/pasted a 
previous RFP, the URL from that request ended up in the RFP in addition 
to the correct one.
As well, I spelled "frontend" as "front-end" which should not be the case.

I hope you will see the value of adding ES-DE to Debian and that you 
would perhaps be willing to maintain the Debian package.
Of course I would then collaborate with you if anything needs to be 
adapted to follow the Debian standards.
I have tried to follow them though, for example using (what I hope is) a 
correct directory structure, included a proper man page etc.

A new video has also just been published on YouTube which gives a 
feeling for what this application is all about:

Many thanks in advance!
