Well, no, it hasn't. I'd still like to adopt the package, but I'm stuck
at trying to find a mentor -- I've had helpful technical advice from
several people but no interest in actually uploading the package (which
has no outstanding problems as far as I'm aware).

Is there anything further I can do at this point? It seems a shame to
throw away the work that I've put into updating the package.

Thanks,

I agree that "the problem has been dealt with" was not the reason for closing
this bug.

Yes, possible approaches :

1. Keep uploading to mentors and reopening the bug
2. Debate the automatic removal from mentors
   - maybe the time should be longer
   - maybe the time should depend on activity on the RFS or elsewhere
3. Upload to elsewhere and reopen the bug once mentiong where the package is

You're absolutely right on that.

I could go on a rant here about how I feel that package sponsorship
isn't working (I've done that a few times pre-DM/DD), but now that I'm
a DD, I can actually do something about it now...

Adam, please re-upload rawdog to mentors and I promise you that I'll
take a look at it (and upload it, unless there are some problems with
your packaging) within a day or two (and if I don't, you're welcome to
spam my inbox and slap me with a trout on IRC until I do so).

Regards,
Vincent

That's very kind of you -- thank you!

I've just uploaded a new version to mentors:
  https://mentors.debian.net/package/rawdog

Cheers,

One minor nitpick: uscan now checks for upstream's key in
debian/upstream/signing-key.{pgp,asc}. The previous location
(debian/upstream-signing-key.pgp) is now deprecated. [1]

Anyways, built, signed, and uploaded; thanks for your contribution to Debian!

Regards,
Vincent
