Hi Simon, I am glad to see sopwith updated to use SDL 2, since we've been getting requests for that for a while now (such as in bug #894853 from way back in 2018). Up until now - at least since July of 2010, when I took over the Debian package - Jesse Smith (CC'd) has been considered the upstream maintainer for this code. Are you now taking it over? Or are you and Jesse going to be jointly maintaining it from now on? Given that the old SourceForge page has been updated to point at your new GitHub page, I am assuming this was a friendly transition. However, I do need to understand the new situation, especially since this isn't just a change in maintainer but is also a major change to the codebase at the same time. Thanks, KEN
