Hi GCS,

Thank you for the quick reply.

Sorry for the typo, I fixed that tag via control several hours ago.

Indeed, that's why the [NMU] and "moreinfo" tags are added.

I intent to ping you maintainers about a package update since there
is a new upstream version available and a patch for ruby package available.

I didn't do the things you listed but I really checked the bug list
before sending out the ping mail. My original intention is that, if you
guys really had a plan to update this package, I can continue to
help more about it.

Sorry if the "RFS/NMU" keywords make you unhappy. But a basically
working and compiling package is better than simple a word in mail
  "how about we update the package"

This thread is indeed the start of contacting you, and such
an RFS with "moreinfo" and "NMU" is safe from being uploaded
accidentally.

 You misspelled the package name and the tag as well, among other things.
Upload sponsorship is for packages you maintain or heavily outdated
with unresponsive maintainers. I do not see this scenario and the NMU
is a NACK from me.

 I'm not near to any Linux box at at the moment, just a question: did
you check any possible reverse dependency? Did you check the GCC 7
build issue or adding the Ruby bindings?
In short, why is the rush and without contacting us first, its
maintainers, you want to NMU it? Especially with mistakes like you add
the changelog entry with a patch - grrr!
