* Package name    : ruby-uri
  Version         : 1.1.1
  Upstream Contact: to be determined / pending[1]
* URL             : https://github.com/ruby/uri
* License         : Ruby or BSD-2-Clause
  Programming Lang: Ruby
  Description     : This module provides classes to handle Uniform Resource
Identifiers.

 Features include:

  * Uniform way of handling URIs.
  * Flexibility to introduce custom URI schemes.
  * Flexibility to have an alternate URI::Parser (or just different
    patterns and regexp's).

Separate from this, the upstream reference of already admitted `ruby-mdl`
published new versions, and starting with version 0.18.0 an additional
dependency is `uri`.[2]  However (Ruby 3.3.8 from servers of Debian forky)

```bash
$ ruby -e "require 'uri'; puts URI::VERSION"
0.13.2
```

published by February 26, 2025 appears to be behind the current version
1.1.1 (November 04, 2025), which might contribute to an issue previously
reported upstream.[3]  The later update of `ruby-mdl` is the motivation.

According to the Debian package tracker, there is no `ruby-uri` yet.

Eventually, I am going to need a sponsor for an upload to Debian.  I would
feel more comfortable if there were a co-maintainer in addition to the
usual review process.

    SHIBATA, maintainer of the .gem on rubygems.org, an option here?
