   Dear Maintainer,   
      
   in the VCS of the team-maintained package, I notice the functionality of file   
   `debian/watch` is muted.  By `git blame`, this is because of commit `06194da4`   
   authored by Pirate Praveen on 2021-04-09 15:16:04 +0530.  Thus, `uscan   
   --verbose --no-download` currently resolves to version of 16.12.3.  With the   
   first two lines uncommented, the watch file (at `version=4`) identifies version   
   19.1.164 as the most recent available outside Debian.   
      
   The commit message does not detail out the reasons why the watch file was   
   disabled -- which might be obvious to members of the Debian Ruby Team (which   
   I'm not).  Perhaps the reasons back in 2021 are no longer valid today, in 2026.   
      
   My initial motivation is bug #1123467 which might be affected by this bug   
   report.  Thus I would like to ask you in advance if provision of an updated   
   package with a working watch file as a non-maintainer upload were acceptable   
   for you, or if you prefer an update from with the Debian Ruby Team instead.
