Hi folks,
I would like to join the Debian Python Team. I have adopted the
python-editables package (previously orphaned, bug #1093730
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1093730>) and submitted
a merge request on Salsa:

https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-editables/-/merge_requests/1

My Salsa username is: https://salsa.debian.org/lastnode

I'm interested in helping maintain Python packages in Debian.

I have reviewed and accept the team's policy documented at:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules/blob/master/policy.rst

Note: I previously uploaded the package directly to -
 https://mentors.debian.net/package/python-editables/
<https://mentors.debian.net/package/python-editables/>- but the DD who is
helping me and will sponsor the package -
https://nm.debian.org/person/anuradha/ - suggested that I take the Salsa
approach since this package is maintained by the Debian Python Team.

Thank you! I look forward to working with you all.

Best,
Mahangu Weerasinghe
https://salsa.debian.org/lastnode
