Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request assistance with maintaining the ebib package. Upstream makes
a lot of releases and I haven't been able to keep up for a while.
A current blocker for updating to a more recent release is that upstream
changed how their documentation is built. Fixing this might be an
interesting project for one of our newer Emacsen Team members; I can
sponsor uploads.
I still rely on ebib for work and so would like to stay involved in
maintainance.
The package description is:
Ebib is a BibTeX database manager that runs in Emacs. With Ebib, you
can create and manage .bib-files, all within Emacs. It supports @string
and @preamble definitions, multi-line field values, searching, and
integration with Emacs' (La)TeX mode.

I no longer rely on ebib for work. I hereby orphan the package.

Hello Mr. Whitton,
First of all, thank you for your work as maintainer of ebib.
I use ebib regularly, and I am ready to adopt it. In fact, I
already have a completely debian-compliant and lintian-clean
package of the last upstream version in my private debian archive,
that I have been using for the past week without errors so far.
I am no debian maintainer or developer. This would be my first
package to maintain (with parsebib, for which I have applied
earlier). I have no preference whatsoever between joining the
emacsen team or taking the package out of the team's hand. I could
however be interested later in helping maintain other emacs
packages, and even adding new ones. Would joining the emacsen team
be the best course of action for this purpose ?
What should I do next ?
