Hi Antoine!
https://salsa.debian.org/sten-guest/emacs-git-gutter/

Git-related self-tests fail due to this:
https://github.com/syohex/emacs-git-gutter/issues/159

...but the package seems to work fine.

If someone else wants to work on this RFP for buster, please go
ahead.  Failing that I'll resume work on it later (feel free to remind
me if I seem too slow).

Haha! :-D


Cheers,
Nicholas

Hi Antoine,

As requested, here are the reasons I am not pursuing this ITP:

1. Git-gutter is effectively orphaned (upstream repo is in
   emacsorphanage project)
2. Upstream is not responsive to inquiries nor bugfix requests.  Over
   a year of latency:
https://github.com/emacsorphanage/git-gutter/issues/156#issuecomment-460029482
3. Git-gutter might be totally unsupported upstream, eg: in the last
   comment of the above issue "This package is no longer supported".
4. I didn't integrate the use of this package into my workflow and
   don't want to be responsible for something I don't use without
   upstream support, and especially don't want to become defacto
   upstream under these conditions.

Consequently, I'm not the person for this job.
Sorry,
Nicholas
