Bug#917624: RFS: ncurses-hexedit/0.9.7+orig-6

May I suggest you to put this wonderful explanation into `debian/README.source'. It may save trouble for future maintainer or save you from questions from another sponsor :)
Re: RFS: pygithub/1.43.3-1
As other folks already mentioned, you do not use CC: you already use X-Debbugs-CC. In this particular case, email with bug number got filtered-out as duplicate in my setup.

Comment in `debian/rules' would be nice. And some very minor suggestions: * Standards-Version slightly outdated * debhelper-compat style reduces redundancy * Probably F-variables could be used to avoid repetition in binary package descriptions? (See dpkg-substvars(5)) I do not know habits of Python Modules Team, but would not it be more apporiate for this packages to be sponsored by DD from team? I can check basic things, but I do not know whole picture, like transitions or reverse dependencies. PS. I am glad to see that pygithub finally moved under aegis of Python Modules Team.
