Hi,

I can review your packages. I saw you are planning maintain it under
DPT umbrella. Don't you have permissions to create projects under DPT
salsa space?

>=20
>=20
> Zstandard is a widely adopted, mature, and highly efficient compression
> standard.
>=20
> PEP-784 proposes adding a new module to the Python standard library
> containing a Python wrapper around Meta's zstd library, the default
> implementation since Python 3.14.
>=20
> This module is the backport of PEP-784 for Python 3.13 and before.
>=20
>=20
> Debian python-pyzstd/0.19.0 now uses PEP-784 (compression.zstd) for Python
> 3.14.
> And it requires "backports.zstd" module for Python 3.13.
