Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "6tunnel", adopting it
from the orphaned state (WNPP bug #920085).

* Package name : 6tunnel
* Version : 1:0.14-2
* Upstream Author : Wojtek Kaniewski <[email protected]>
* URL : https://github.com/wojtekka/6tunnel
* License : GPL-2
* Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/6tunnel

To access further information about this package, please visit:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/6tunnel

Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget':
dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/6/6tunnel/6tunnel_0.1=
4-2.dsc

	I have already created a merge request for my changes to the vcs repo.=
=20
Merge=20request: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/6tunnel/-/merge_requests=
/3

Changes since the last upload (1:0.14-1):

 * New maintainer (Closes: #920085).
 * Fix debian/watch: point to /tags instead of /releases, since
 GitHub now loads release assets via JavaScript and uscan could
 no longer find matching files.
 * Drop obsolete python3.patch, now applied upstream.
 * debian/copyright: split combined GPL-2/GPL-2+ license paragraph
 to match the Files stanzas (fixes a lintian warning).
 * Bump Standards-Version to 4.7.4.

lintian is clean on the source package (aside from a
newer-standards-version notice, which is a false positive from an
outdated local lintian database).

Note on CI: the debrebuild reproducibility job on Salsa fails due to
a missing dependency snapshot (linux-libc-dev:amd64=3D7.1.5-1) on
snapshot.debian.org. This is unrelated to the package itself; all
other CI checks (build, lintian, autopkgtest, piuparts, uscan) pass.

I'd welcome any feedback on the changes, and am happy to make
adjustments as needed.

Best regards,
Damian Daniel
