I addressed Mr.=20 Millon directly because he is named as "uploader" for that package. The=20 "maintainer" is the "Debian Python Team". So is this list the right=20 place to contact that team? The stable package (6 years old) is far behind upstream. I am motivated=20 because a) my own work depends on feedparser and b) I want to learn and=20 will invest more resources in packaging other packages (e.g.=20 "backintime"). Therefore, feedparser would be my learning start. I know=20 the maintainer and packaging guides. Of course, I need to dive deeper=20 into them but beside the technical issues, I have an idea about the=20 "social system" behind it. First, I want to be sure not stealing work from someone. Is there an=20 active maintainer on the Debian side for the package "feedparser"? Second, I am aware that I need an "uploader" because I do not have (and=20 do not want to) have write access to the repository. However, this is a=20 far away problem because the package itself needs to get done first. ;) Third (and most important), I need someone like a mentor. Whom can I ask=20 when I have background questions that are not mentioned in the wiki or=20 if I have technical problems? I need someone take my hand and someone to=20 kick my butt when I need it. ;) I am sure it is helpful to introduce myself to the community. Which=20 place would be the best for it? The Debian Python Mailinglist or=20 anywhere else? Or a link to a Debian Wiki Entry? Best regards, Christian Buhtz
