Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: important Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the existing debian package "urlscan[1]", used by email clients such as mutt to parse and pipe embedded urls. The debian package is an update and improvement to another debian package "urlview", but[2] the debian version of "urlscan" is ten point releases and over three years behind the upstream, the debian maintainer seems not active[3], and that maintainer's sponsor has expressed to me a lack of interest. Based upon an email from Paul Wise[4], and from reading the debian manual[5], I guess the correct bureaucratic procedure is to start a 'salvage' process; the circumstances seem to clearly fit within the criteria of [5][6]. I am not subscribed to the debian-mentors mailing list, so please include me directly in all replies. The remainder of this email is based upon the RFS template[7].
