Dear mentors,

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

 * Package name     : urlwatch
   Version          : 2.29-2
   Upstream contact : Thomas Perl <m@thp.io>
 * URL              : https://thp.io/2008/urlwatch/
 * License          : BSD-3-clause
 * Vcs              : https://salsa.debian.org/mwerlen/urlwatch
   Section          : web

The source builds the following binary packages:

  urlwatch - monitors webpages for you

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

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

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

  dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/u/urlwatch/urlwatch_2.29-2.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

 urlwatch (2.29-2) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Update Debian standards version
   * Update d/watch to version 5
   * Update debherlper to version 14
   * Remove unnecessary Rules-Requires-Root field in d/control
   * Add pybuild-plugin-pyproject to handle setup.py script
   * Build HTML doc after dh_auto_build and install it with dh_installdocs
   * Use single-binary dh add-on so dh_auto_install installs into
debian/urlwatch

This upload aims at reducing problems indicated by
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/urlwatch by modernizing the package.

Regards,

Maxime
