I intend to orphan the wayfire package as I no longer use software
from WayfireWM ecosystem.

The package description is:
 Wayfire is a 3D Wayland compositor, inspired by Compiz and based on
 wlroots. It aims to create a customizable, extendable and lightweight
 environment without sacrificing its appearance.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang

Thanks so much.
I get stuck in something during recent months.

I am glad that somebody has decided to take over the responsibility for
wayfire.

Hi,

I'd like to adopt this package (and related packages) if possible. I'm a
regular Wayfire user (on Ubuntu and Debian) and generally follow its
development. I've already been involved in the last version in Debian
(0.10) and I'm currently preparing the current latest version:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/wayfire/-/merge_requests/4

I'll update the MR adding myself as maintainer and upload the package to
mentors.

Note: generally, I've found the packaging process for Wayfire not too
difficult (of course I can still make mistakes :)). The major concern is
updating after a new wlroots release (on which this package depends):
Wayfire typically targets the latest stable release of wlroots, and is
only updated after a new release comes out; a compatible Wayfire release
might follow only several months after a release of wlroots (so in the
meantime, patches from upstream might need to be applied).

Best,

Daniel
