I've pushed my work to Salsa -
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/datasette

The package builds successfully with gbp and lintian passes.

Could I please request a sponsor to provide feedback and potentially upload
this package? ITP here -
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1120835

Thank you!

Best,
Mahangu
