Request to Join Debian Python Team

[aka oday]

Dear Debian Python Team,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is 
Marcos Rodrigues de Carvalho (aka oday),
and I am a Debian contributor interested in joining the Debian Python
Team.

I am reaching out to express my interest in becoming a member of the team and
contributing to Python-related package maintenance within the Debian ecosystem.
I  believe that collaborating with the Debian Python Team will allow me to
contribute more effectively and efficiently to the Debian project.

My Salsa login is: marcos.rcarvalho.

I have thoroughly reviewed the team's policies outlined in the following
document:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules/blob/master/policy.rst#joining-the-team.
I fully understand and accept the responsibilities and guidelines set forth in
the policy document.

I am eager to join the team to help maintain existing packages, contribute to
specific packages, and collaborate with other members of the Debian Python
community.

Thank you for considering my request to join the Debian Python Team. I look
forward to the opportunity to contribute and collaborate with fellow team
members.

Best regards,

This sentence looks as if would have been created by autocomplete function.
Could you please try to rephrase for better understandability?

Thank you
   Andreas.

Hi again,

since I know you from Debian Science team and you are usually
comfortable with setting Maintainer to the team I've done so
besides fixing the bug and polished the package a bit.  I also
upgraded to the latest upstream version.

Please confirm that this all is OK before I upload (feel free
to upload yourself which is perfectly fine for me).

Kind regards
Andreas.

It's not from scraping.  It's from the maintainer field in packages that they 
import from Debian.

This probably isn't the place to have that argument.  I have raised this with 
them before.  The first time was probably over a decade ago.

It was mostly done by Amin Bandali using a script:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2023/08/msg5.html

A few packages needed manual checking afterwards because they were not
consistent with the team's conventions (either already using debian/latest,
or still using master, or some other branch name):

I am guilty of having used `debian/latest` in multiple of my packages
inside the DPT by following DEP-14, because I prefered it to the DPT
branch name and I use DEP-14 in all my other packages.

Do we know if this was automated by a tool/script, or if this was a
manual effort by multiple people? I would be happy to help update our
current DPT policy to use DEP-14 and perform the migration.

Best regards,

Agathe.

Thanks for reaching out to them.

While at it, I'd also question why Canonical is scraping public repositories 
and creating user accounts for the scraped addresses.

Yes, I know why they do it, but for me, it is another example of bad 
collaboration practice, on top of everything else to be said about Ubuntu (or 
more precisely, its owners).

It's also small things that impose burdens on others, and if they think they 
need to fork Debian, copy packages from it (to put behind a paywall 
afterwards), then they certainly could do that without spoofing Debian people 
and team addresses.

Disclaimer: I am assuming good faith in this specific case, but not in 
Canonical and Ubuntu in general.

Hi Launchpad Team,

FYI: This message got delivered at the public mailing list
debian-python@lists.debian.org.  To me it looks like someone if trying to find
a loophole in launchpad and plans to abuse the system.

Thanks, Bye,
