Emmanuel,
Per my understanding, first a Debian maintainer (someone with write
access) must update the upstream / pristine-tar branches with "gbp
import-orig --uscan". Then I can submit an MR using the new upstream
branch. If this understanding is incorrect please let me know.
you can do this perfectly in your own namespace and open one (in total 3
MRs) once you feel happy with your packaging work.
Running the import of a new upstream source sin't that complicated and
you need to know how this is done anyway if you want to work on a
serious packaging.
Clone the repository and then work on the import and packaging within
your namespace.
You don't need to have full access to the DPT Salsa group for doing
this. And I'm mostly against giving new contributors that I do not know
enough directly full access, as there is no need.
Probably nobody from the DPT can do what you expect as I believe nobody
within the team knows specifics of this package to do it mostly
correctly and without a need to re-adjust $stuff then multile times.
Within your namespace you can do force pushing as often you like or need
to do. Within the team namespace it should only be done in rare cases of
not at all.
And from what I've seen the repository name isn't fitting well as
platformio is more of a platform and what you are talking about is a
subproject called platformio-core. What we can do is to rename the
project within the DPT namespace to that name.
