    Hi Niels,

    1) I have granted you commit access (developer) to
    https://salsa.debian.org/debian/foomuuri in case you want to move
    the packaging there.

    Thank you. I pushed the commits there and I'll remove my personal copy
    later.

    2) I am ok with sponsoring your package in its current form, though
    I would like to confirm with you that you are okay targeting unstable.

    Yes, unstable should be fine.

    Foomuuri has very few dependencies and there are no packages that
    depends on Foomuuri. There are no large/disruptive changes.

    New upstream release 0.28 has been very stable in Fedora/EPEL. It
    includes very user-friendly change by merging two config sections (old
    configs will work as is) and that's the main reason why I would like it
    to get to Debian.

    it will be sponsored): When you add build-dependencies for testing
    only like in 2a88e1c71135d306dcb4185b8e70d00d6ed446a4, consider
    tagging them with `<!nocheck>` (such as `nftables <!nocheck>`). This

    Thanks, I'll keep it in mind and fix to next release.

    You mention a backport upload as well. The one I can find is https://salsa.debian.org/kimheino/foomuuri/-/commits/bookworm-backports?ref_type=heads.
    If so, then that is currently not actionable as the version being
    uploaded to backports must be in testing already and 0.28 is not. If
    you are still aiming for this, then foomuuri must be uploaded to
    unstable and migrate before I can help there.

    Ok, understood. I'm still new to Debian maintaining... Let's get back
    to this when it's migrated.

    Hi Niels,

    Between my last email and now, the release team announced that the
    Full Freeze will start in 7 days.

    I saw the news too.

    After reading freeze policy multiple times I decided to not request for unblock. Rules are rules and I unfortunately missed the deadline.

    New release would be very beneficial for new Foomuuri users (easier installation / configuration), but old version works too. And we always
    have backports.

    I'll contact you again after the freeze. Thanks for all the work so far.
