Thats correct. The maintainer for mg attached a new label 20200215 without hesitation, I created a tar file, imported it via gbp and pushed all to salsa. Thanx to all for your help Harri

Hope this helps. So far I did not find a single upstream that was not able to understand a sentence like "Hi, my name is foo and I'm the Debian developer who is maintaining blubb in Debian".

FWIW Consider to use email address m...@packages.debian.org for it. You, maintainer of package `mg` should have TWO copies of this email. One through the mailinglist. The other because I have m...@packages.debian.org CCed. As test. The idea is that it helps you to explain that you are maintainer of the package in Debian. Hope this helps.
