Thanks peb! Thanks. Can I ask why do we have such high barrier of entry for new team members?

Right. I will do that. I was just looking at the Wiki documentation for this and I think there might need to be some updates and clarifications. For example, on this page: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonTeam/HowToJoin Here, it mentions the Maintainers and Uploaders fields and a more comprehensive policy than in the Salsa-hosted policy document. I assume that this policy is still applicable, but I wonder how it interacts with people like me who do not have Debian Developer status and presumably cannot be an uploader. The above page also has references to Alioth mailing lists, which seem to be active even though the archives contain a lot of spam. It also says this: "If the team is in Maintainer field, remember to subscribe appropriate mailing list or at least bts and contact keywords on this [Advanced subscription form for the Package Tracking System] page." I assume that this would involve me subscribing to the applications list or to notifications from the PTS, but the grammar in the above sentence is ambiguous and I don't have the background knowledge to successfully disambiguate it. It could also mean subscribing the team to the PTS for the package. Sorry if this is asking questions with obvious answers! Paul

Dear Stefano, thanks for the advice. Am 03.04.2024 16:48 schrieb Stefano Rivera: If you do create a repo and then never upload the package, please delete/archive the repo when you're done. Done. Personally, I usually get the package ready to upload before creating a git repo in the team. I believe you. But the Wiki states otherwise. There creating the salsa repo is the first step.

My aim is to maintain it in the team, yes. Previously, I maintained the package in Debian, although I never became an actual Debian developer and relied on a mentor to perform uploads. This time round, I envisaged that it would be more sustainable if I joined the Debian Python Team, maintained the package, but would be able to rely on uploaders in the team to perform the uploads. However, I did not presume that I could just set the Maintainer field in debian/control before applying to join the team, nor did I set any particular headers or metadata in the ITP for shedskin to reference the team, since I thought that this might be impolite. I imagine that I would change the Maintainer as noted in the team policy if the package were to be adopted within the team. Paul

If you do create a repo and then never upload the package, please delete/archive the repo when you're done. Personally, I usually get the package ready to upload before creating a git repo in the team. I want to be sure that it's something maintainable that I want to take on, before I commit to it. The advice for doing it in your own salsa profile seems sensible. For a complex package that you aren't sure about adding to the team, that could make sense.
