Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors and DebianPhotoTools Maintainers,

I am looking for a sponsor for the package "libexif":

 * Package name    : libexif
   Version         : 0.6.23-1
   Upstream Author : Dan Fandrich <dan at coneharvesters.com>,
 * URL             : https://libexif.github.io/
 * License         : LGPL-2+, BSD-2-Clause and LGPL-2.1+, LGPL-2.1+,
MIT, public-domain
 * Vcs             : https://salsa.debian.org/debian-phototools-team/libexif
   Section         : libs

The source builds the following binary packages:

  libexif-doc - library to parse EXIF files (documentation)
  libexif-dev - library to parse EXIF files (development files)
  libexif12 - library to parse EXIF files

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libe/libexif/libexif_0.6.23-1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

 libexif (0.6.23-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream version:
     - Support for more Exif 2.3 tags.
     - Support for Apple iOS MakerNote format.
     - Default GPS IFD table added.
     - EXIF_TAG_SENSITIVITY_TYPE decoder added.
     - Translation updates.
     - Multiple security fixes.
   * debian/control: Raise Standards-Version to 4.6.0 (no changes needed).
   * debian/copyright: Update for libexif 0.6.23.
   * debian/gbp.conf: Use DEP-14 branch naming.
   * debian/patches: Drop all patches. Security fixes included in this version.
   * debian/upstream/metadata: Update ChangeLog URL.
   * debian/watch: Use string substitutions where possible.

I am DM, and I'd like to take more responsibility by uploading libexif
(exif and libexif-gtk) myself. Happy to discuss off-list.

Regards,
