[gentoo-dev] Package up for grabs: app-misc/pdfpc

Hi everyone,

pdfpc is a nice presentation tool to show PDFs and a presenter screen with
notes etc[1].

With version 4.5.0 upstream startet to use webkit-gtk and has no intention
to make this optional[2]. I use a Qt-based desktop, have no interest to build
another browser engine for a single tool and didn't use pdfpc in over a year
(only tested it to verify that it's still working). Therefor I step down as
it's proxied maintainer.

The only open bug right now is a stabilization request[3]. Releases are not
often (in the order of one or two per year).

[2] https://github.com/pdfpc/pdfpc/issues/62
[3] https://bugs.gentoo.org/828333

Kind regards,
Nils

I am actively using this. So, I'll take it unless someone else wants to
maintain it. (Co-maintainers are also welcome.)
