[Pkg-nginx-maintainers] Would it be possible to package the SPNEGO/GSSAPI module now?

[David Härdeman]

Dear maintainers,

the SPNEGO module is a necessary prerequisite for single-sign-on
support in Kerberos-based networks:

https://github.com/stnoonan/spnego-http-auth-nginx-module

It appears to have been one of the most commonly requested modules in
the past, e.g.:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=790623
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nginx/+bug/1486532

I'm well aware that there's a sticky in the bug reporting system with the title
"[Sticky] No New Modules or Flavors"...but I was under the impression that this was
mostly while the maintainer team focused on the loadable module support?

Would it be possible to consider including the SPNEGO module now that third party
modules have been reorganised to separate repos/packages (since version 1.22.1-5)?

Cheers,
David

FWIW, I tried downloading the above repo and copied the "debian" directory over
from one of the other third-party modules (libnginx-mod-http-brotli IIRC), did some
quick search-and-replace and then managed to build a package...so I assume/hope the
effort to package the module would not be all too extreme...
