We can see what was done in the snapshot and the maintainer did this
by recovering from the snapshot sending to Salsa the work he had done
and sent to the experimental. The issue is that we need a volunteer to
finish the work, test and send it to unstable to resolve bugs
(including CVEs), patches and send new versions of some other
packages. A work that I see as delicate and needs to be well tested to
guarantee quality. I would have to check if the Salsa snapshot matches
the previous one, which it doesn't, new uploads still need to enter
the experimental and I would have to check with the maintainer that
I'm already pinging if he would be interested in continuing what he
was doing given that he already has knowledge. And work has been done,
the version 0.10.2 being pending can be upload done, which includes
several fixes. But looking at Salsa there are many commits pending.
Furthermore, there is a person who is reporting some problems with
patch suggestions that would also have to be analyzed, his name is
Julian Wollrath. But I want to see if I can help organize everything
yet and an upload NMU is possible.
