Yes. Welcome! Thank you for helping to make Debian better! I have added you to the Salsa team. I think that gives you enough permission to move your projects with Settings > General > Transfer project. GNOME Core and GNOME Circle apps and libraries should be in the regular Debian GNOME team, while other apps and libraries for GNOME are handled in the Extras subteam. Please take time to read through https://wiki.debian.org/Gnome/Git . In particular, we use a DEP-14 style layout with git-buildpackage. That means the default branch is debian/latest and there is also an upstream/latest branch. Converting the upstream branch is a little complicated. Basically it requires first renaming upstream to a temporary branch and then renaming the temporary branch to upstream/latest since git won't allow branches named upstream & upstream/latest to exist simultaneously. This also means that it is probably easiest for people who have a local copy of these repos to just do a new git clone afterwards. Let me know if you want me to rename the branches for you after the repos are moved to the Debian GNOME team on Salsa. We also use the full upstream git history so there will be one extra step when importing new upstream versions: git fetch --all (or sometimes also git fetch --all --tags ) assuming you have the upstreamvcs git remote. One way to get that remote is with gbp clone --add-upstream-vcs when doing the initial git clone. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
