RFS - reviving the Advene (video annotation) package

[Olivier Aubert]

Hi

Advene[1] is a video annotation software (GPL), based on python, Gtk
and Gstreamer. It was present in older Debian releases [2], but got
removed due to the major migrations (python2->python3, Gtk2->Gtk3, 
Gstreamer0.10->Gstreamer1.0) that occurred.

Since then, the application has been updated and is now in good
shape to be reintroduced into Debian. The updated Debian package[3],
migrated from cdbs to dh_python, has been used/tested for at least 3
years (distributed through a private repository[4]).

I am looking for help/sponsorship from the Multimedia team, to help me
getting the package back in Debian. I am ready to do most of the work
if needed, but I need some guidance wrt the current practices of python
packages.

Anyone feeling like giving a hand?

Best,
Olivier Aubert
