  Description     : Nginx virtual host traffic status module

This package enables easy monitoring of nginx instances with
telegraf [1]. We use it in production since a very long time
and would like to switch from a locally built package to one
maintained by the distribution.

Maintaining this package seems to be low-effort. I could
maintain it on my own or join forces with the Debian
nginx maintainers.

Thanks,
Gregor

Dear Debian Nginx maintainers,

Let me introduce myself, first:

I'm Gregor, a software engineer and free software enthusiast. I started
contributing to OSS projects around the year 2000 with some patches to
the KDE desktop environment. Due to my work activities I had to interact
with the Video4Linux subsystem and became the Debian maintainer of the
v4l-utils package. Some months after that I successfully applied to
become a Debian Maintainer. Since then I took over mainatenance of the
c-ares package and prometheus-cpp. I'm most proficient in the C/C++ space.

My latest endevour is packaging the Nginx VTS module. I noticed this
package is available for Alpine, Arch, and Fedora. Because at work we
run most services with Debian and Ubuntu, I wanted to close the gap.

You could find the packaged module here:
https://salsa.debian.org/gjasny-guest/libnginx-mod-vts

Based on your opinions, I'd either like to maintain that module af part
of the nginx team, or move it into the collab-maint / Debian space on
Salsa. Either way I'd need an initial sponsor (due to my DM status).

What do you think?

Thanks,
Gregor
