As you can see from the thread history, this has been waiting on a response from debian for over four months. In the interim, I adopted another FOSS task for my FOSS time-budget and so won't be available for this 'for a while'. If you're motivated, you can share this case as yet another example of how debian discourages participation by dropping the ball in communicating with potential contributors. Over the past 10-15 years, I've made several offers to contribute to debian, and all have suffered similar fates. > > On Tue, 9 Apr 2019 13:27:25 -0400 Boruch Baum <boruch_b...@gmx.com> wrote: > > 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.
