I don't see any issue with maintaining the package under the team, although we will have to talk about how the packaging will be done. I see that the package lists https://github.com/gcarmix/hexwalk as the Vcs-Browser field in d/control. That field should point to a repository that contains the packaging source, and I don't see that in github. Maybe you had the intention of pushing that only after the package was uploaded, but I would like to understand your plan regarding this. Ideally, we should have the packaging done on salsa under our team at https://salsa.debian.org/groups/pkg-security-team/, do you intend to do that or to keep the packaging merged with the upstream code on Github? That's a possibility, but it will make it considerably harder for other Debian contributors to help, but keeping it on salsa will add some overhead to you as upstream and maintainer, as you would have to keep the packaging somewhere else. For the review itself, can you push the packaging in the form of a git repository? You can create a repo on salsa under you username or push it to github for now, at least.
