Hi Gabriel,

thank you for your attempt to enhance wnpp.debian.net and making
Debian more friendly for newcomers.

I do not think I have spare cycles to sponsor it.  However, I have a
very strict sponsoring policy:  I only sponsor code that is hosted on
Salsa.  In case other DDs might have a similar policy you might want
to increase your chances to find some sponsor by migrating your code
to Salsa.

Just let me know in case you need some help in doing so.

Kind regards
   Andreas.
