I have uploaded a new version of this package to mentors:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/mate-equake-applet
I know the previous sponsorship request was closed and archived because
it was removed from mentors. I had to migrate the application to gtk3
first, which I completed.
Should I create a new sponsorship request?
Debian changelog:
* New upstream release (Closes: #849267)
* Migrated to gtk3 which is the default major version of gtk used by
mate in
the current debian stable and newer
* Limited the amount to which text can grow before being displayed into
GtkLabel when viewing historical data for the week, to prevent
GtkLabel from
crashing
* Added test to count amount of commas left in text to be processed
