  1. A nice proposal to type more efficiently.  Though I can't sponsor your work, don't forget to toggle in d/changelog the most recent `UNRELEASED` (all caps) to `unstable` (lower case only).

  2. With a brief glance over speed-type's landing page (https://github.com/dakra/speed-type) I see the cross-link to uniline (https://github.com/tbanel/uniline#compatibility-with-org-mode) -- which could be an awesome additional package if you share the interest and have the time.

  3. debhelper-compat can be upgrade to 14, after which ${misc:Depends} can also be dropped.

I had noticed it too! If no one else takes it up, I will after this
package is done.

It should remain UNRELEASED till a sponsor is found, right?

I'll make a new commit with that change!

If (perspective) `emacs-uniline` is independent of `emacs-speed-type`, i.e. file `debian/control` does not mention it in the block which starts by `Build-Depends:`, my recommendation is to start whenever you have the interest, the time, and the resources at disposition.

This is addressed in the Debian Policy (I refer to version 4.7.4.1, released on 2026-03-31), section 4.4. Debian changelog.  The corresponding address to the online version is https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-dpkgchangelog, including the template

```
package (version) distribution(s); urgency=urgency
...
```

where `distribution` is the indicator "once the package is ready, where should this upload go to?".  By your d/changelog, as well as a check on the package tracker page (here: https://tracker.debian.org/search?package_name=emacs-speed-type), `emacs-speed-type` is not yet known to Debian at all.  This is the reason why the template's `distribution(s)` is to be replaced to `unstable`, i.e. "upload this package to Debian's branch testing (at present: to prepare Debian 14/forky)" as the usual point of entry.  I recommend to adjust this prior to seeking a sponsor.

Some about the background;

If `emacs-speed-type` is accepted to `unstable` .and. if it is compatible with present day `stable` / Debian 13/trixie, you may opt-in for a backport (see https://backports.debian.org/).  Then, `stable-backports` (instead of `unstable`) would be the appropriate keyword d/changelog here.

I do not know the setup you use to prepare a package for an upload to the mentors page.  For me, for an already existing package to update, I use `dch -i` to increment to a new version.  If I fetched the relevant files, and issue the command `dch -i`, file d/changelog opens in the vim editor with `UNRELEASED` highlighted in red -- to prevent an accidental upload to Debian.  The change of `UNRELEASED` to `unstable` (then displayed in green) is my last edit of d/changelog prior to  an upload; the file's edit starts by the command `dch -e`.  (See `man dch` for the many other options available, e.g. `dch -a` to add an additional bullet point to address in d/changelog).

Yeah I got that.
