Hi Alexandru,
Welcome! I'd like to sponsor your work, and I hope that attention to
detail doesn't annoy you. Please take a look at the questions in the
following reply:

Do you intend to continue to maintain mini-httpd at this location (Vcs
location), or do you have a new one in mind? Do you intend to maintain
the package in git, and if so would you please share the remote of your
fork? You don't have to if you don't want to, by the way.

Thank you for adopting this package!

This doesn't make sense, because, in 1.30-3, Håvard F. Aasen updated
Standards-Version to 4.6.1; in other words, this line claims you
regressed the package back to 4.5.1. Yes, Aasen didn't document this
change in the changelog, and that makes it unclear what happened...maybe
it was a "bump", but maybe Aasen did the work of checking the package
was compliant. I'd like you to verify compliance with the current
version of Debian Policy (4.6.2), and here is the checklist to help you
along your way. Please start at 4.4.1.
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.html.
and I'd like to see you document your work with:
* Declare compliance with Standards-Version 4.6.2. (no changes required)
because I believe that you're not a robot ;) One of the perspectives I
was mentored to uphold is that "bumping" is for robots. Please note
that your sponsor will need to manually check for compliance with Policy
before uploading. Yes, this means duplicate work, or even triplicate
work if it was a package that needed ftpmaster review! The number is
just a number, and what really counts is the work.
On the topic of work, has upstream resolved any of these old bugs:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=mini-httpd
If so, let's talk about closing them! This is a normal part of adopting
a package (closing fixed bugs, and/or reopening ones that are still
relevant).
Regards,
Nicholas
