Yes, we agreed to co-maintain the package, I prepared this upload before the agreement so that's why all of the changes are signed by me. > You included a debian/.gitignore file, but my tests show no need for it. > iI’m OK with keeping in included if it helps with your maintenance work, > ibut please be aware that needing it in the first place might be a symptom > iof wrong tooling/setup on your side. I think you are right, also came up during the MR review, I am going to check and probably get rid of if for new release. Great to hear you would like to be a regular sponsor for this one!

Once it is done, I’m going to update the packaging repository. For convenience I added myself in Uploaders, if all goes well with this one I would be happy to sponsor your future uploads of libarchive. I only have two remarks before I send it to the archive: You added Syed Shahrukh Hussain (CCed to this e-mail) to the list of Uploaders, is that on their request and are they actually going to take an active part in this package maintenance? You included a debian/.gitignore file, but my tests show no need for it. I’m OK with keeping in included if it helps with your maintenance work, but please be aware that needing it in the first place might be a symptom of wrong tooling/setup on your side.
