Hello, I would like to join the Debian Python Team.
My reason is concrete rather than general: I have adopted python-svg.path, which has been orphaned since 2017 (#816512) and sits in the team's salsa namespace. I retitled the WNPP bug to ITA earlier today and have prepared 7.1-1, which picks up the pending upstream release and the adoption itself. Following team policy I have set Maintainer to the team and put myself in Uploaders, rather than taking the package personally. * Salsa login : dkost/[email protected] * I have read and accept the team policy. My salsa account is still awaiting approval, so I have not been able to push to python-team/packages/python-svg.path yet. The branches are ready locally (master, upstream, pristine-tar) and I will push as soon as I have access, at which point the Salsa CI pipeline can speak for the package better than I can. In the meantime the package is on mentors and I have filed an RFS: RFS : https://bugs.debian.org/1143833 ITA : https://bugs.debian.org/816512 dget : https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/python-svg.path/python-svg.path_7.1-1.dsc What changed since 7.0-2, which was a QA upload by Alexandre Detiste in January: * New upstream release 7.1 (bug fixes plus a new Path.lengths() method). * Adoption: Maintainer to the team, myself in Uploaders, closes #816512. * Standards-Version 4.7.4, debhelper-compat 14. * Removed debian/tests/python3-svg.path, which nothing referenced - there is no debian/tests/control and the autopkgtest comes from Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-pybuild. * debian/copyright: extended the upstream range to 2026 and added myself to the debian/* stanza. QA, all against unstable: sbuild in a clean sid chroot succeeds; lintian 2.139.0 run inside the chroot reports no tags at all; autopkgtest passes with 56 tests on Python 3.14.6; piuparts passes install, upgrade and purge. For comparison, 7.0-2 as it stands in the archive emits orphaned-package-maintained-in-private-space, which this upload resolves. This is my first Debian upload, so I would genuinely welcome review as much as sponsorship - if something in the packaging is wrong or merely unidiomatic, I would rather hear it than not. The changelog has six entries where the adoption alone would have needed two; if a narrower first upload would be preferred, the debhelper-compat bump and the removed test script are both independent and I am happy to split them out. Thanks, Dustin Kost [email protected] GPG: EDCE 3BA9 A154 4E1C 3F5F 7BD7 98C1 3C91 546C C4C2
