Package: sponsorship-requests

Dear mentors and chinese-developer folks,

I am looking for a sponsor for the team package "manpages-zh".

 * Package name    : manpages-zh
   Version         : 1.5.4.1-1
   Upstream Author : [ switching to myself ]
 * URL             : https://github.com/man-pages-zh/manpages-zh
 * License         : GFDL-1.2+
   Section         : doc

It builds those binary packages:

    manpages-zh - Chinese manual pages

To access further information about this package, please visit the following 
URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/manpages-zh

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

    dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/manpages-zh/
manpages-zh_1.5.4.1-1.dsc

Alternatively, one can obtain binary package and its piuparts / buildlog / 
buildinfo information at deb-o-matic:

    http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#unstable/manpages-zh/
1.5.4.1-1

All changes have been pushed onto team git repository:

    https://anonscm.debian.org/git/chinese/manpages-zh.git

Explanations for the new upload:

The original maintainer, LI Daobing, is retiring (as the MIA Team indicates 
[1]). This upload would take over this package and get the package back into 
good shape.

Even though there are still many outdated man pages in this release, at least 
we are moving one step forward into the cleanup of old cruft and improve the 
situation, and the bug solved in groff and man-db [2] would greatly help 
improve the typesetting quality of Chinese man pages in Stretch.

[2] https://bugs.debian.org/848030

Explanations for lintian checks and package itself:

Lintian warnings on deb-o-matics about zh.tmac is a false-positive, since 
zh.tmac was added yesterday and does not exist in Jessie yet. This file will be 
in Stretch however.

Lintian error on mentors.d.n is a false-positive, since mentors system is old 
and does not recognize debhelper v10, in which dh-autoreconf is a dependency 
of debhelper, so no need to worry. Clean chroot is successful on fresh 
unstable system.

 manpages-zh (1.5.4.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
