Looking for help with a recently removed package, kcollectd

[Antonio Russo]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a new home for kcollectd, a tool for viewing log information,
that was recently removed from unstable because it lacked a Qt 5 port [1]. I
have ported that package and I've taken over the upstream (which has been dead
for years) [2].  I'm offering to maintain the Debian package, and I've been
directed here, at the suggestion of another DD, because this community may have
interest in helping out with this package.

Of note, I spoke with Scott Kitterman, who requested the removal of kcollectd,
and he said he knows of no other reason the package should be removed.

The updated packaging fixes several outstanding bugs, and makes the Debian
lintian report much cleaner (one is, I believe, a false positive, and the other
is due to lack of package tests which aren't really relevant to this kind of
UI software).

Is anyone here willing to sponsor this package, offer any criticism of
the package, or further direct me to a place where I might get such help?

Thank you,
Antonio Russo
