#17127 — Request to join the Debian Python Team

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

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

Thank you very much! I’m excited to begin contributing.

Whenever someone has the bandwidth, could I please request a review on my
first Salsa MR?

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

Thank you!

Noted, thanks!  I've pushed my adoption changes to the python-editables
master branch in Salsa -
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-editables

* New maintainer (Closes: #1093730)
* Update Standards-Version to 4.7.2
* Convert d/watch to version 5 RFC822 format

Local testing I did:
* uscan verified watch file works
* gbp buildpackage built successfully
* lintian passed with no errors

Could someone please sponsor this upload? Do let me know if I've missed
anything, as this is my first package adoption. Thank you!

Best,
Mahangu

Uploaded, after enabling the CI on the salsa repo and fixing some
minor issues unrelated to your changes. Thanks for taking over as
maintainer!
