Hello,

I think that the packaging of Zeal stalled somehow in the recent years. The
last maintainer upload was back in 2018, and there were 2 NMU since then. There
is a MR on salsa, but no answer from the maintainer.

I'm not blaming anyone here, it's just that I do have interest in this package
and I intend to help if I can. Please ChangZhuo tell me how I can help you.

If you don't answer before July 26., I will upload a new version adding myself
as a co-maintainer. My dream would be to go for co-maintenance here, and I
would love to hear from you so that I can start working on the update before
end-July if possible.

Thanks for all the good work you've done so far, and for your future answer.
Mt
