Thank you for starting this project.

Agreed.

In its early days, can I convince you to move the project away from
the proprietary GitHub silo? That will limit the participation from
people who care about keeping their contributions on free platforms
<URL:https://mako.cc/writing/hill-free_tools.html>.

There is currently a transition within the official Debian
infrastructure for VCS hosting, so it's not *quite* feasible for me to
point you to an “official” Debian VCS host.

In the meantime, I would recommend using the free-software platforms
Launchpad <URL:https://launchpad.net/> or a GitLab instance
<URL:https://gitlab.debian.net/>, while it is easy to migrate the
project away from a proprietary silo.

I would love to contribute – I have the Python skills you discuss, and
recognise the problem you're solving – once the project is on a
free-software platform where I can in good conscience maintain an
account.
