Hello everyone,

I am Aymeric Agon-Rambosson, Debian Maintainer 
(https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=aymeric.agon%40yandex.com).

I recently had to install a Mumble server implementation on one of 
my servers. I did find the list of dependencies of mumble-server a 
bit too long for my taste.

Fortunately, I found on the internet a minimalistic implementation 
of the Mumble server protocol, umurmur 
(https://github.com/umurmur/umurmur). It turns out that umurmur is 
not packaged by debian.

For this reason, I have packaged umurmur 
(https://salsa.debian.org/ricorambo/umurmur), and I have used it 
without any issues for the past three months.

Now that I believe I have tested it enough, I think it should be 
packaged in Debian. This is why I am contacting you. I wanted to 
gauge interest before filing the ITP bug.

My idea was the following : the package would be nominally 
maintained by the VoIP team (the team would be in the Maintainer 
field), and I would be the uploader. I would do the actual 
maintaining, so as not to give you extra work (to be fair, there 
is very little work).

However, I would need a Debian Developer to go through NEW, and 
for the eventual uploads of the new upstream releases (which are 
bound to be infrequent).

What do you think ? Would one DD of the team be ready to sponsor 
my very few uploads (or to give me upload rights after a while) ?

The work I've done is available to be reviewed at 
https://salsa.debian.org/ricorambo/umurmur. Please let me know if 
anything is out of order.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Best regards,

Aymeric
