As requested, here are the reasons I am not pursuing this ITP: 1. Git-gutter is effectively orphaned (upstream repo is in emacsorphanage project) 2. Upstream is not responsive to inquiries nor bugfix requests. Over a year of latency: https://github.com/emacsorphanage/git-gutter/issues/156#issuecomment-460029482 3. Git-gutter might be totally unsupported upstream, eg: in the last comment of the above issue "This package is no longer supported". 4. I didn't integrate the use of this package into my workflow and don't want to be responsible for something I don't use without upstream support, and especially don't want to become defacto upstream under these conditions. Consequently, I'm not the person for this job. Sorry, Nicholas
