Bug#918242: ITS: lmms

[Ross Gammon]

Hi Javier & Israel,

Thanks for responding so soon. It is good to know that there are 3
people (including Boyuan) interested in caring for lmms. This bug can
probably be closed once there is an upload.

I have to travel with work for two weeks. This sometimes means I have
lots of spare time, and sometimes it means zero. But I will take a look
when I get a chance.

It sounds like the Debian Edu DD's are just busy, so it is probably time
to advertise outside of the team for sponsorship. No need to move the
package somewhere else unless the Debian Edu team want this.

For the future, I recommend using Debian Mentors to find a sponsor
(which is what I think Boyuan was asking for):
https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers

But as Debian Edu is a Blend, Andreas Tille's Sponsoring of Blends (SoB)
initiative might also be a good bet:

Regards,

Ross
