Christian, have you filed an ITP (intent to package) yet? If not, please do so as soon as you can. https://wiki.debian.org/ITP > There is no need to start any packaging work within the Salsa group of > the DPT.

You have a remote backup of your work. 2. You can do whatever you want with it (ie make branches and/or tags of experiments that may or may not work out, squash, rebase, force push--as noted--etc.) 3. So it's lower stress and builds confidence faster than working directly in a team-managed namespace imho. 4. Moving the repo during the sponsorship procedure can be a reassuring milestone. 5. Doing Debian development "in the open" is sometimes an uncomfortable adjustment, and staging work in personal namespace is a more gentle path. Regards, Nicholas
