Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the package "golang-github-hlandau-dexlogconfig":

  git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-go/packages/golang-github-hlandau-dexlogconfig.git
  cd golang-github-hlandau-dexlogconfig && pristine-tar checkout ../golang-github-hlandau-dexlogconfig_0.0~git20160722.0.055e2e3.orig.tar.gz

This package is a prerequisite for uploading a new version of
acmetool, a client for the Let’s Encrypt certificate authority.

For verification, these are the current branch heads:

  git show-ref --heads
  3406fc6e76a13447f87b3dbb342f1dd1e22a6dfb refs/heads/master
  ff9363988d9a04af3c305da92601cefcfa34b995 refs/heads/pristine-tar
  378055fd7ed02150ee0df825c25e4eaf407c9143 refs/heads/upstream

Please note that while the package has to go through the NEW queue,
the code is already contained in the archive as part of the package
golang-github-hlandau-degoutils. The upstream author has recently
split the former into three separate packages (goutils, buildinfo,
dexlogconfig), of which dexlogconfig is the last in the dependency chain.

Please see these messages on pkg-go-maintainers for a review, which
discusses in particular the implications on the Debian packaging of
the novel licensing scheme devised by the upstream author.
