Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "maze":

 * Package name     : maze
   Version          : 1.0.0-3
   Upstream contact : Angelos Panagiotakis <agelospanagiotakis@gmail.com>
 * URL              : https://github.com/agelospanagiotakis/maze-cli
 * License          : GPL-3.0-or-later
   Section          : games

The source builds the following binary package:

  maze - simple auto-generated maze game for the terminal

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/maze/

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/maze/maze_1.0.0-3.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

 * Initial release. (Closes: #1148567)
 * Restore the Priority field in the source stanza: it is a recommended
   field, and dropping it made lintian warn (recommended-field).
 * Declare Standards-Version 4.7.4.1.

Notes for the reviewer:

 * bash is the implementation language; the package is Architecture: all, so
   there is nothing to compile.
 * Testing: the upstream suite (58 checks, including a pseudo-terminal test of
   the arrow-key raw-mode path) runs during the build via dh_auto_test, and
   debian/tests/smoke covers the installed program under autopkgtest.
 * The program installs to /usr/games/maze with a maze(6) man page, following
   section 6 and the /usr/games convention for games.
 * Upstream ships no build system worth calling one: debian/rules installs the
   two files directly.
 * I am the upstream author and would be happy to co-maintain, or to hand the
   packaging to the Games team if that is preferred.


Regards,
Angelos Panagiotakis

Typical self-packaged software with no users, published hours before
filing the ITP. The software itself is a single 750-line bash script.

But, as the author writes in the ITP, we indeed package many low effort
"games" so *shrug*.
