Hi Micah,

you let us know earlier this year that you're short on time wrt.
maintaining torbrowser-launcher. We (Debian Privacy Maintainers) are
sending you quite a few PRs and it takes a while to get them reviewed
& merged, so we often have to ship the corresponding fixes as a part
of the Debian delta.

I've thought of one way to improve the situation a bit: you could
delegate to me the maintenance of the AppArmor profiles i.e. allow me
to push changes to the upstream Git repo in the apparmor/ directory.
I realize it's a big thing to ask. I can take "no" for an answer :)

This would perhaps save you a little bit of time, allow you to focus
on non-AppArmor issues and PRs, and smooth things quite a bit for
downstreams (e.g. Debian & Tails) who could cherry-pick fixes directly
from the upstream repo instead of having to hunt for them in
various PRs.

Another option could be to move the AppArmor profiles out of
micahflee/torbrowser-launcher: I'd be happy to maintain them
elsewhere, under the umbrella AppArmor upstream project, and send
updates to the maintainers of torbrowser-launcher in Debian
when needed.

What do you think?

Thanks for writing torbrowser-launcher in the first place!

Cheers,
