Hi,

Going back to RFP for several reasons:

* Jerome has lost interest in oh-my-zsh and switched to powerline
  (which he brought to Debian, too, see
https://packages.qa.debian.org/powerline, and which seems way better
  maintained upstream)

* The FTP Masters weren't happy with upstream's licensing situation,
  containing several files (lib/spectrum.zsh was explicitly mentioned)
  where the true copyright holders seem not listed upstream.

* Upstream does no releases which makes it difficult for package
  maintainers to decide when the code is stable and suitable for a
  package upload.

* It's a hell of work to keep debian/copyright uptodate (if even
  possible at all, see above). Github lists over 700 contributors for
  upstream.

After discussing this with Jerome and one of the FTP Master
Assistants, FTP Masters have rejected the oh-my-zsh upload (which
lingered in the NEW queue for 9 months) upon my request.

I'll leave this bug report at RFP as there seems still room for
another try by someone else to package oh-my-zsh -- but likely only if
both, the licensing situation and the release politics at upstream,
improve.
