Thanks for clearing it. Are these values correct:

+Vcs-Git: git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/jitsi.git
+Vcs-Browser: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/jitsi.git

Should we commit there or it is automatically imported? Do we have
access there? How can we update with current version or it is updated
after the package is accepted into Debian repo?

Thanks
