Hi Filippo, surely you can join the team and help to maintain the package. The package itself is relatively large, but there are not so much problems with it usually. After new version 2-3 uploads are enough to bring it to the stable state. It is not mandatory to be a Python expert to maintain it. I am not leaving the science team at all. I will continue to maintain some science-packages and can surely help if I can to give some advices about Freecad packaging. But I think science team has a lot of highly qualified people who can take care of it. My focus though is due to the professional changes is shifted. Very important that the upstream is very responsive and it is always pleasure to work with them. The main problem now is to port it on Qt5, because Qt4 is EOL. But AFAIK the upstream is working hard to provide its migration.
Then I'll certainly be happy to contribute. I'll start by running dpkg-buildpackage on my own and understand the rules file. Thank you, Cheers, Filippo -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Filippo Rusconi, PhD ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Scientist at CNRS ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ Debian Developer ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://msxpertsuite.org http://www.debian.org
