    I've added this in packaging Git[1].

    This is why I believe we should not give up on programs such as obsession and openbox-menu. I will certainly not give up on them.

    Do you consider this some kind of `wontfix` tag for this bug report?

    This package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[2] initiative, which
    aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
    the workflow to solve them.

    Since we are approaching the freeze I'm hesitating to upload the status
    in Git to unstable. Moreover due to this specific bug its not really
    clear whether we should keep or rather remove this package.

    If you volunteer to care for this package I can add you to the members
    of this repository and sponsor the package.

    Kind regards
    Andreas.

    Hello Andreas,

    It is nice to see my request has reached you. 

    I would gladly say yes to your proposition, but I don't know at the
    moment if I will be able to take the necessary time to go over the
    process for this workflow, in time, the right way, at the right time
    and execute the needed steps.

    - I gave a look at the pages you point to in this mail. There are more
    than one thing which I am not aware of. (Here: https://salsa.debian.org/qa/tiny_qa_tools/-/wikis/Tiny-QA-tasks "UDD"?
    "VCS"?)

    - On the github page, there are errors in the job, https://salsa.debian.org/debian/obsession/-/jobs

    - FabriceT had added a "xdg-autostart" to his creation at the time he
    wrote it, which really is redundant with the one already existing in
    Openbox.

    (IMO we should never modify the Openbox scripts in a distribution in
    order for another program to work).

    All that would be needed would be to ensure the Openbox package does
    have the required python-xdg dependancy, which is really none of
    obsession business.

    The last time I tried to create a package for the Debian repositories
    was several years ago, and due to a hickup from the man you accepted to
    be my mentor (he had forgotten to register as mentor on the page of my request), I gave up and switched to a PPA in Ubuntu (which at the time
    took me a full month to complete, but who counts?)

    How much time can I have ahead to answer your proposition?

    Also I would need a mentor : does your sponsorship proposition includes
    / involves, being my mentor?

    Best regards,
    Joyce
