Hi

Advene[1] is a video annotation software (GPL), developed with python, Gtk
and Gstreamer. It was present in older Debian releases [2], but got
removed some years ago due to major migrations (python2->python3, 
Gtk2->Gtk3,  Gstreamer0.10->Gstreamer1.0).

Since then, the application has been updated and is now in good
shape to be reintroduced into Debian. The updated Debian package[3],
migrated from cdbs to dh_python, has been used/tested for at least 3
years (distributed through a private repository[4]).

It was previously maintained under the Multimedia Team umbrella, but
there seems to be no interested dev there with time to sponsor this
package there, and I was hinted that the Python team may be more
appropriate.

I am looking for help/sponsorship from the Python Team, to help me
getting the package back in Debian. I am ready to be part of the Python Team 
(I have read the policy.rst and accept it) and do most of the work
if needed, but I would welcome some guidance wrt the current practices 
of python packages.

Happy hacking! Best,
Olivier Aubert
