After going through the above report, I am afraid that it doesn't
inspire enough confidence. If you had the rights, you'd have uploaded
the patch presented in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openbox/+bug/2011751/comments/20.
But that went through multiple rounds of review and after some back
and forth and a bunch of changes to the patch, Dan finally sponsored
the upload.

Given that you never needed it in the past and that the above bug work
doesn't inspire enough confidence, I'm NACKing the above request. I am
happy to be proved wrong and also perfectly okay if other members of
the DMB feel the opposite. :)

But that said, with some history of uploads, I'd be perfectly fine
with adding openbox to the Lubuntu packageset.
