Hi colin,

I'm working for Canonical's OEM team, our team uses thermald for a
long time. I've SRU several packages[1], I am interested in
maintaining the thermald package.
From the tracker, I found 2.15.10 is available, I could help bump the
new version, and I will need sponsorship for uploads.
BTW, I didn't find thermald project on https://salsa.debian.org/ ,
where to send the merge request? Thanks!

I've just made a QA upload for thermald addressing the removal for dh-sequence-movetousr. See [1] for details.

Regards,
Michael

I would have pushed the changes directly to Git, but unfortunately there is no Git repository listed in debian/control. Please find attached the debdiff and in case you plan to make another upload, please incorporate those changes.
