Hello Courier users!
I could lend a hand to the maintainer for couple of hours/month.
I am Courier user and I am able to put together simple, lintian-free packages
https://github.com/szepeviktor/debian-server-tools/tree/master/security/myattackers-ipsets/ipset-persistent/debian
Though I've never used Debian's source/build infrastructure.
Two things:
The package has no git source https://packages.qa.debian.org/c/courier.html
Courier upstream has no bug-tracking system.
I would choose GitHub as a place to store /debian and to communicate
with upstream.
