Hello Andreas, It is nice to see my request has reached you.
I would gladly say yes to your proposition, but I don't know at the moment if I will be able to take the necessary time to go over the process for this workflow, in time, the right way, at the right time and execute the needed steps. - I gave a look at the pages you point to in this mail. There are more than one thing which I am not aware of. (Here: https://salsa.debian.org/qa/tiny_qa_tools/-/wikis/Tiny-QA-tasks "UDD"? "VCS"?) - On the github page, there are errors in the job, https://salsa.debian.org/debian/obsession/-/jobs - FabriceT had added a "xdg-autostart" to his creation at the time he wrote it, which really is redundant with the one already existing in Openbox. (IMO we should never modify the Openbox scripts in a distribution in order for another program to work). All that would be needed would be to ensure the Openbox package does have the required python-xdg dependancy, which is really none of obsession business. The last time I tried to create a package for the Debian repositories was several years ago, and due to a hickup from the man you accepted to be my mentor (he had forgotten to register as mentor on the page of my request), I gave up and switched to a PPA in Ubuntu (which at the time took me a full month to complete, but who counts?) How much time can I have ahead to answer your proposition? Also I would need a mentor : does your sponsorship proposition includes / involves, being my mentor?
