It seems that over the years I have taken over maintenance for
too many packages and I cannot really give all of them the care
that they deserve. Thus, I request an adopter for the mbuffer package.

The package description is:
 The mbuffer tool is used to buffer data streams and show the I/O rate and
 summary to the user.  It is especially useful for writing backups to
 fast tape drives or streaming them over the network.  If used correctly,
 it can prevent buffer underruns and speed up the whole backup or
 transfer process.

Hi,

I intend to adopt the Debian mbuffer package.

I have contacted upstream maintainer Thomas Maier-Komor, who has confirmed
that patches should be sent by email and has offered to review Debian's
current patch queue. I have sent him the patches and will review each one to
distinguish changes that are still useful upstream from Debian-specific or
obsolete changes.

I am not yet a Debian Developer, so I will seek review and sponsorship for
the first upload.

Thank you to Peter Pentchev for maintaining mbuffer and for filing this RFA.

Best regards,
Federico Molara
