Hey folks, so this has been flying about for a couple of months now,
what's the current status?
Is someone willing to own this bug and merge everything?
I might take some time to do so in a week or two if no one else steps

Would be a shame to leave borgmatic like this in Debian! :)
And thank you for people for all the NMUs, we're lagging, but not that
far behind upstream, thanks to that awesome work...
