    W: xfwm4: incorrect-locale-code hye -> hy [usr/share/locale/hye/]
    N: 
    N:   The package appears to ship locales for a language but uses an incorrect
    N:   locale code as a subdirectory of /usr/share/locale. This usually results
    N:   in users of the intended target language not finding the locale. The
    N:   language codes used in the locale directories are those from the ISO 639-1
    N:   and ISO 639-2 standards, not those usually used as TLDs (which are from
    N:   the ISO 3166 standard).
    N:   
    N:   When both standards define a language code for a given language, the ISO
    N:   639-1 code should be used (i.e. the two lettered code).
    N:   
    N:   Lintian only knows about some commonly-mistaken set of incorrect locale
    N:   codes.

    I: xfwm4: package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc [usr/share/themes/Daloa/xfwm4/README]
    N: 
    N:   This package ships a documentation file outside /usr/share/doc
    N:   Documentation files are normally installed inside /usr/share/doc.
    N:   
    N:   If this file doesn't describe the contents or purpose of the directory it
    N:   is in, please consider moving this file to /usr/share/doc/ or maybe even
    N:   removing it. If this file does describe the contents or purpose of the
    N:   directory it is in, please add a lintian override.

    N:     Advocates: "Scott Kitterman" <debian@kitterman.com>
    N:     Reason: The folders XXX.dist-info/ and XXX.egg-info/ hold metadata for
    N:             Python modules. Those files are not documentation even though
    N:             some of their names carry the .txt file extension.
    N:             
    N:             Python modules can be both public and private.

    P: xfwm4: copyright-refers-to-symlink-license usr/share/common-licenses/GPL
    N: 
    N:   The copyright file refers to the versionless symlink in
    N:   /usr/share/common-licenses for the full text of the GPL, LGPL, or GFDL
    N:   license. This symlink is updated to point to the latest version of the
    N:   license when a new one is released. The package appears to allow
    N:   relicensing under later versions of its license, so this is legally
    N:   consistent, but it implies that Debian will relicense the package under
    N:   later versions of those licenses as they're released. It is normally
    N:   better to point to the version of the license the package references in
    N:   its license statement.
    N:   
    N:   For example, if the package says something like "you may redistribute it
    N:   and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
    N:   published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your
    N:   option) any later version", the debian/copyright file should refer to
    N:   /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2, not /GPL.
    N:   
    N:   For packages released under the same terms as Perl, Perl references the
    N:   GPL version 1, so point to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-1.

    P: xfwm4 source: maintainer-manual-page [debian/xfwm4-settings.1]
    N: 
    N:   The maintainer keeps a manual page in ./debian. Please forward the manual
    N:   page upstream and ask them to include in their version control system, and
    N:   in their next release.
    N:   
    N:   If the manual page was already forwarded or rejected, or the upstream is
    N:   gone, please override the tag and annotate it with a suitable comment.

    N:   Please refer to social contract item 2, Coordination with upstream
    N:   developers (Section 3.1.4) in the Debian Developer's Reference, and

    N:   This format makes it easier to review licenses and can be easily parsed by
    N:   Lintian.

    Summary...
    
    I believe xfwm4 is not yet ready for sponsorship at this time. Could the contributor rectify one of more of the raised issues.
