Hello, I am an user of the pypi2deb project [1] and contributed to it multiple times [2]. 4 months ago, its last uploader resigned [3], leaving the non-DPT maintainer in charge and a list of open PRs, some of them waiting since a year [4].
It seems that because this project is not team maintained I am unable to merge some of the sensible merge requests because I have no rights on this repository. There are only 4 people that can touch this repository [5]. Are we OK as a team, with such a critical tool, used to package new Python packages, to be left in a such shape? I think that a good way to revive this package is to make its Maintainer the DPT so that we can collaborate on it again (and update the Gitlab rights to be able to do so). Or maybe I should apply the pull requests manually in my git tree and NMU? But the original tree will be lagging. Thanks for your advice.
