Hi,

I'm currently writing some software in C that I'd like to package
into Debian once its stable enough. I've gone through the teams wiki
[1] and I noticed that there isn't a team that maintains software
written in C or command line tools in general.

I'm confused about which team i should choose to maintain my software

Normally if there is no suitable team no team is used.
We tried to ask you why do you want a team.

My intentions to maintain with a team is to make it easier to get help
with the packaging. I only worked on python libraries in Debian and I
don't have much experience with the tools needed to package software
written in C so I thought some docs or discussions in a team would make
the packaging much easier and efficient since I'd get inputs on my work.

Also since I don't have upload rights and the lack of a team to ask for
sponsorship, it'd be much more difficult for me to get my work reviewed
and uploaded to the archive.

Again I like collaborative maintenance. A team makes this possible.

This is again, only if the software that I'm writing meets my
expectations and is stable enough to be packaged into Debian.

You are welcome to join the Tinker team, which you might find suitable
for this project of yours.

Thanks Jonas, I'll get in touch with the Tinker team.
