Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I noticed that rust-bcrypt was lagging behind upstream and is
currently listed for adoption (RFA) on the WNPP list
(https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/rfa_bypackage).
I have updated the package to version 0.19.0, refreshed the packaging,
and I am submitting this as an ITA (Intend to Adopt) to take over its
maintenance.
I've already prepared the update to ensure compatibility with the
current unstable ecosystem.

* Package name : rust-bcrypt
  Version : 0.19.0-1
  Upstream contact: Vincent Prouillet <hello@vincentprouillet.com>

* Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo-conf/tree/master/src/bcrypt

It builds those binary packages:
  librust-bcrypt-dev - password hashing for Rust - Rust source code

following URL:

Alternatively, one can download the package with dput using this command:

Changes since the last upload:
  * Upgrade upstream version to 0.19.0. (Closes: #1081721)

Hi Alessandro,

For Rust team packages, you should try following the team's sponsorship procedure. In short, create an empty src/bcrypt/debian/RFS and ask for someone to review in #debian-rust on IRC or on the debian-rust ML.

Hi Mytham,

I created the requested change (including the empty
src/bcrypt/debian/RFS file) in my fork, but I’m unable to open a merge
request against the upstream repository on Salsa.
It seems I don’t have the required permissions.

Do you know how to enable it?

Thanks

Hi Alessandro,

You should be able to do it while logged in; at least I've been able to
do so several times in the past.
