Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "fcitx5-telebit":

 * Package name     : fcitx5-telebit
   Version          : 2.14.0+ds-1
   Upstream author  : Nguyen Nam Son <sonnn.uct@gmail.com>
 * URL              : https://github.com/sonnam0904/telebit
 * License          : MIT
 * Vcs              : https://github.com/sonnam0904/telebit
   Section          : utils

The source builds the binary package:

  fcitx5-telebit - Vietnamese Telex/VNI input method for Fcitx 5

To access further information about this package, visit:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/fcitx5-telebit/

Alternatively, you can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fcitx5-telebit/fcitx5-telebit_2.14.0+ds-1.dsc

Changes for the initial release:

 fcitx5-telebit (2.14.0+ds-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Initial release. (Closes: #1147199)

The package builds in an unstable chroot with sbuild, and lintian from
unstable reports no errors and no warnings. The upstream tarball is repacked
(+ds) to drop a test-only word list derived from hunspell-vi, together with
the documentation site's build products; see debian/copyright and
debian/README.source.

Two notes a reviewer may want up front:

 * debian/rules passes -DTELEBIT_INSTALL_ENVIRONMENTD=OFF. Upstream installs a
   systemd environment.d drop-in that points GTK_IM_MODULE, QT_IM_MODULE and
   XMODIFIERS at fcitx5 for the whole session; in Debian that choice belongs to
   im-config, and one engine should not make it for every other one.

 * The Maintainer field names me. ITP #1147199 states my intent to maintain
   this within the Debian Input Method Team, alongside the other fcitx5-*
   engines, but the team has not adopted the package yet, so naming them would
   speak on their behalf. I would gladly move it to the team if they are
   willing.

Regards,
Nguyen Nam Son
