Hello Courier users! I could lend a hand to the maintainer for couple of hours/month. I am Courier user and I am able to put together simple, lintian-free packages https://github.com/szepeviktor/debian-server-tools/tree/master/security/myattackers-ipsets/ipset-persistent/debian
Though I've never used Debian's source/build infrastructure. Two things: The package has no git source https://packages.qa.debian.org/c/courier.html Courier upstream has no bug-tracking system. I would choose GitHub as a place to store /debian and to communicate with upstream.
