Dear Debian libwebp package maintainer,

A new upstream release of libwebp has released on July 2025.
Please consider providing it in Debian. Thanks!

Best,
Boyuan Yang

Hello all,

+1 from my side. For reference, the upstream lists

| libwebp-1.6.0
|
| - 6/30/2025 version 1.6.0
|   This is a binary compatible release.
|   API changes:
|     - libwebp: WebPValidateDecoderConfig
|   * additional x86 (AVX2, SSE2), general optimizations and compression
|     improvements for lossless
|   * `-mt` returns same results as single-threaded lossless (regressed in
|     1.5.0, #426506716)
|   * miscellaneous warning, bug & build fixes (#393104377, #397130631,
|     #398288323, #398066379, #427503509)
|   Tool updates:
|     * cwebp can restrict the use of `-resize` with `-resize_mode` (#405437935)

However, I feel a bit concerned regarding the maintenance of this
package: it seems that most of the uploads of the recent years have been
provided by you, Boyuan Yang, via NMUs, and you now filing this bug here
seems to indicate you don't indend to continue doing so. Or did I
misinterpret that?

Adding to that, it seems that the last maintainer update has been
1.2.2-2 as provided on 14 Mar 2022.

So, what it the maintainer state of this package? Jeff, are you still on
board? Please note that I don't intend to blame, but rather I am
checking whether some support might be needed.

Cheers,
Flo

I believe keep maintaining with NMU is not a proper solution.
Please let me know whether you are open in adding package co-maintainer
or still plan to maintain the package in the long term.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
