I request an adopter for the paredit-el package.
The package description is:
Paredit mode instruments several common keybindings to automatically
balance all parentheses and respect the structure of S-expressions;
it also provides numerous high-level operations

Ok, I've taken a look, and I think we don't need to bother with clens at
all. As far as I can tell it only duplicates stuff that's already in
libbsd. I've attached a trivial patch to use that library and it seems
to work fine. Can you check if that's okay with

Peter (another Debian packager) made mg works with libbsd alone; no clens.
Is this likely to bite us on the ass later?
Adding clens to Debian is work we'd rather avoid if possible.

Hi Trent,
I'd like to help with mg. I'm not a DD, so I won't be able to sponsor,

Thanks.

The mg stuff probably still says it's maintained

I suppose that Trent must have been using a different version of git
than the one reported.
FYI, this is quite likely.

I request assistance with maintaining the mg package.
There's been a new release waiting to go for months,
but I have been too lazy to do it.
I need someone to either do it or nag me into doing it.
Current mg has a dependency on a new C library clens.

This appears to be the commit that fixes it.

I was looking at alternatives to lynx --dump to turn text/plain into

want *any* escape sequences, I tried TERM=dumb. That tells me to pass
