It would be great if want to take care of mod_tile and related packages in Debian as part of the Debian GIS team. The team policy documents our packaging workflow: https://debian-gis-team.pages.debian.net/policy/ And this list ([email protected]) can be used for discussions about packages, feedback on packaging changes also happen on the pkg-grass-devel lists. Both lists are mentioned on our website: https://debian-gis-team.pages.debian.net/ We don't have many active DDs in the team, so I'm the primary sponsor for package uploads. If I'm unavailable, SoB is also an option: https://debian-gis-team.pages.debian.net/policy/packaging.html#sponsorship > This e-mail is a greeting.

If you intend to maintain the libapache2-mod-tile & tirex packages in Debian within the Debian GIS team the repos should under the debian-gis-team namespace on Salsa. To get access to the repos in that namespace you need to join the team on Salsa: https://debian-gis-team.pages.debian.net/policy/index.html#membership How does your libapache2-mod-tile packaging differ from debian-gis-team/libapache2-mod-tile?
