Jordan, thanks a lot for your recent contributions to the alot package! I think
your changes are fine and I just uploaded your package to experimental. If
there are any additional problems, we can make iterative changes and upload
them later.

Simon, you added yourself to the Uploaders of alot. Are you still interested in
maintaining the package?

Thanks!

cheers, josch

I was trying to see if I could work with Stefano (Cc'd) to help with
the PAPT svn=>git transition, but that didn't end up going anywhere. :\

Yes, I am still interested. I'd convinced myself that I just needed to
give up on using git for now, so I planning to commit the patches to
svn under the current PAPT packaging area. I'll do that and then work
with you (Johannes) to upload the new package.

Jordan and I were writing each other privately in February. Currently progress
is stalled on the question of how to maintain the package. The options are:

 1. maintaining it under the umbrella of the Python Applications Packaging Team
but they use svn which Jordan wants to avoid in favour of git. There is the
question of whether it would be acceptable to use PAPT+git:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/python-apps-team/2017-February/013126.html
But as the last message indicates, there seems to be no consensus yet
whether to use git-dpm or switch to gbp-pq when moving python-apps from svn
to git...

 2. using collab-maint with whatever git packaging workflow but it seems that
Jordan isn't sure yet which one to pick for maintenance of alot

Jordan, are you still on board? Otherwise I just pick the option I like and
start committing your work. :)

Thanks!

How is this going?

Jordan, have you made more changes that should be released?

Johannes, are you waiting on any changes before you approve and upload
this package?

Hi

I'll let Josh doing the final checks and upload
(note: I didn't check your changes, but based on your reply
I think we are good!)

I uploaded a new 0.5.1-1 to mentors.debian.net. I agree for (a). I
think the new version addresses (b) and (d) through (h).

For (c), I replied to the bug and took ownership. I think we should
see if this goes upstream soon since upstream seems interested in the
change.

Duplicate of (d) above.

Done.

You may also want to close bug #792108 with that release.

You may also want to add yourself to debian/copyright if your changes are
substantial (like switching to pybuild and compat level 10 might be).

Feel free to contact me for sponsorship as I'm an alot user and also
fixed/filed a couple of bugs together with upstream. I'm thus very interested
in keeping this package in Debian.

Thanks!

FYI. if your key hasn't been compromised, it's easy to extend the

I'm sorry. I meant to say that I planned to put it into git under the
PAPT, not collab-maint. So, the change would be moving from svn to
git. I did apply to be added to the alioth PAPT project.

maybe you can ask to remove your key then :)
better "retiring" than getting removed!
(this way one day you will be allowed to come back easily, even if you aren't a 
DD)

sure

lets review:
a) PAPT seems more appropriate
b) "alot (0.3.7-1) unstable; urgency=medium"
this never went in unstable, please merge the two changelog entries together 
with the correct
author attributions
c) #846314 <-- please fix it
d) please close #792108 in the correct "new upstream release" changelog
e) #701806 wontfix?
f) the runtime dependencies needs to match the versions on setup.py
and if oldstable/stable already have higher versions, you can just drop them 
and let
python:Depends fill them correctly
g) please consider using pybuild for building it
h) please consider bumping compat level to 10

other stuff LGTM

Jordan contacted me a few days ago, I gave him complete permission to adopt
the package, as I've been for all intent and purposes, fallen MIA

While I am a DM, I haven't been active in the Debian community for
something like two years (nor have I been using Debian). Thus, I don't feel
qualified to review anyone's work. As far as uploading goes, I'm fairly
sure my GPG key has expired.

For these reasons, I kindly ask that anyone with the inclination would
review and upload the package.

I do have reservations about moving the package from the PAPT umbrella into
collab-maint, but it's not my call anymore.

Cheers,
Simon

where did the current maintainer orphaned the package?
did he acked the changes to add you on uploaders list?
He is a dm, why can't he sponsor it?

what about: #784723 #814460 #821429 #846314?
they should have patches/pending tags, but you are not closing/fixing them.

Please ask the current maintainer to review your work

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: low

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "alot"

 Package name: alot
 Version : 0.5.1-1
 Upstream Author : Patrick Totzke 
 URL : https://github.com/pazz/alot
 License : GPL-3+, LGPL-2.1+
 Section : mail

It builds those binary packages:

  alot  - Text mode MUA using notmuch mail
lot-doc   - Text mode MUA using notmuch mail - documentation

To access further information about this package, please visit the following 
URL:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/alot


Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/alot/alot_0.5.1-1.dsc

I have made the packaging available in git:

https://github.com/jljusten/alot

But, if I am able to adopt this package, then I would move this under
debian's collab-maint project.

Changes since the last upload:

alot (0.5.1-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (Closes: #848150).
  * Add Jordan as uploader.
