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 kakoune package.

The package description is:
 Kakoune is a code editor heavily inspired by Vim; as such most of its
 commands are similar to vi’s ones, and it shares Vi’s "keystrokes as
 a text editing language" model.  Kakoune can operate in two modes, normal
 and insertion.  In insertion mode, keys are directly inserted into
 the current buffer.  In normal mode, keys are used to manipulate
 the current selection and to enter insertion mode.  Kakoune has a strong
 focus on interactivity, most commands provide immediate and incremental
 results, while still being competitive (as in keystroke count) with Vim.
 Kakoune works on selections, which are oriented, inclusive range of
 characters; selections have an anchor and a cursor character.
 Most commands move both of them, except when extending selection where
 the anchor character stays fixed and the cursor one moves around.

Hi,
I am really interested in adopting kakoune.
It's a really great editor and it's part of my daily usage.
I planned to fix these bugs:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1066018
And check https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1093860
for possible patch and then patch it with the bug vendor names.
As soon as possible, kak new version gets uploaded to the mentors
server and waits for a sponsor.
I really appreciate Peter Pentchev to maintain this wonderful editor in debian.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
kakoune, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1143017@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
