Debian NMU Sprints in December, Thursdays 17:00 UTC!

Since the previous sprints were fun and productive, I am planning on
doing NMU sprints every Thursday in December (1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd,
29th). We are planning on meeting on irc.oftc.net in the
#debian-reproducible channel at 17:00UTC and going for an hour or two or
three. Feel free to start early or stay late, or even fix things on some
other day!

We will have Debian Developers available to sponsor uploads, so even if
you can't upload yourself but you know how to build a debian package,
please join us!

Unapplied patches:

  https://udd.debian.org/bugs/?release=sid&patch=only&pending=ign&merged=ign&done=ign&reproducible=1

This list is sorted by the oldest bugs with patches not marked pending,
so we can target bugs that have just stalled out for whatever reason,
but feel free to pick bugs that scratch your particular itch.

We will want to make sure the patch still applies and/or refresh the
patches, make sure it still solves the issue, and update the bug report
where appropriate.

Documentation about performing NMUs:

  https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu

We will be uploading the to the DELAYED queue (presumably between 10 and
15 days).

If the package has been orphaned we can generally upload without delay
(check the https://tracker.debian.org/PACKAGE page which usually lists
this) and mark it as maintained by "Debian QA Group
<packages at qa.debian.org>" if needed.

If you are impatient, try fixing QA packages, as you can upload fixes
without delays:

Let's fix some bugs!
