Bug Description

Hello,

I got the suggestion of submitting this bug as [needs-packaging] from <email address hidden>.

Already filed a WNPP bug in debian to "Debian Bug Tracking System" <email address hidden> about this package being orphaned with the following information:

Request: guidedog needs a new maintainer and packager
Since guidedog is no longer part of Debian/Ubuntu probably because it has not been updated since Qt3, i decided to re-write it in pure Qt5, dropping the requirements for Python, CMake and KDE.
I would like to know where to upload the new source code.
Can you please assign a new packager for this tool?

Here goes some additional information on guidedog:

Description: NAT/masquerading/port-forwarding configuration tool for KDE
 Guidedog is a KDE utility which allows to use easily activate and configure your machine for packet routing, Network Address
 Translation/IP Masquerading (NAT) and port-forwarding.

Guidedog was originally developed by Simon Edwards. Guidedog webpage is in http://www.simonzone.com/software/guidedog/

Simon's email <email address hidden> is no longer valid. I tried to reach any other email for him, but couldn't find one.

The source package in Debian is in http://snapshot.debian.org/package/guidedog/1.0.0-6/

The original maintainer of the Debian and Ubuntu guidedog package was Paul Cupis <email address hidden> but passed away two years ago.

Guidedog new version in Qt5 (1.2.0) was written. The repository for the new guidedog 1.2.0 source code is in GitHub
https://github.com/antocm/guidedog

The guidedog Debian package was uploaded to Launchpad (my personal PPA)
https://launchpad.net/~digiplan-pt/+archive/ubuntu/guidedog

This can be the proposal for the package requested.

Thank you
