Thanks, this is good news.

I am willing to be your sponsor.

I had a very quick look at your current packaging work. My
understanding is that in version 0.9.11 there was a SOVERSION bump
(libofx6->7), that is currently not reflected in the shared library
package name. If this is indeed the case, that also means that the
package cannot be uploaded to unstable until stretch is released,
because of the freeze (but you can still upload it to experimental in
the meantime).

Other things that could be done to improve the package include:
- dropping libofx6-dbg, and relying instead on automatic debug packages
- bumping debhelper compat level to 10 (in that case, my understanding
is that you need to add the --no-parallel option to dh, since
ofxdump/Makefile is not parallel safe; you could also drop the dh-
autoreconf build-dependency).

Best,
