Bug#849267: ITP: mate-equake-applet -- Mate panel applet which monitors earthquakes

[Jeroen van Aart]

Please see the copied email threat below. I also filed a request for 
sponsorship last week:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=849313

What would I need to do to have this sponsored by the the MATE packaging 
team? I am happy to change the name to make it more consistent with 
other packages.
