If you want to maintain this package by your own you don't need to become a member of the Python Packaging Team. But you will need a sponsor for your uploads then. One big advantage of team maintained package is that not only one specific maintaining person (the Maintainer field in d/control) is required and to be around. You still can add yourself to the Uploaders field anyway. Maintaining a package costs time and requires technical skills to fulfill the Debian packaging policy. Ask yourself if you can ensure you will have the required time to do the packaging work, especially if you want to maintain the package alone by yourself, but also if you are interested in maintaining this package within the DPT. It's not a good behavior to prepare a package, find a sponsor and then the contributor isn't seen anymore afterwards. Other Debian maintainer will need to take care on that package then. > I guess I need to be a member to create the repo on salsa. I already > have made an account there (@cmhe). Yes, if you want to create a repo within the teams namespace. But you can always create new repos within YOUR own namespace! The repo could later easily transferred into the DPT space on Salsa once the trees are ready and finished. I'd suggest to start that way and ask here on the list once you feel someone should review your work. You can e.g. force push to your git tree as often you want to do so or feel to need to do. Once the repo is within the DPT force pushing is a no-go and is mostly disabled for good reason. > [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1011358 If you are interested in showing that you are willing to do further work on this issue you should take over the ownership for this issue and also do a retitle of the bug report e.g. by using the 'bts' command. This is available locally once you have installed the package devscripts and have setup a local MTA [1]. I personally use nullmailer for this job You can then interact with the BTS and set the ownership. > bts owner 1011358 ch@denx.de , retitle 1011358 "ITP: tpm2-pytss -- TPM2 TSS Python bindings" More explanations about controlling the BTS can be found here: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control [1] https://wiki.debian.org/msmtp https://wiki.debian.org/sSMTP https://wiki.debian.org/nullmailer -- Regards Carsten
