Hi, Thanks for bringing up this topic. #1064952 is something that goes well with this discussion. I myself am an active user of pypi2deb and also have a pending MR, and I'd love to see the package getting more attention. I am also very much willing to contribute to improve the tooling. It makes perfect sense that a tool in wide use such as this is maintained under the team umbrella. Of course, that is only if the current maintainer, piotr, is also in agreement.
Best, Ananthu
