The newer version (git commits) are months old and the metadata.json file there doesn't even claim GNOME Shell 47 support. However, you may be able to update the existing patch to add 48. > Jeremy, it seems like it would make sense to bring this under the > umbrella of the GNOME packaging team.

The Salsa repo is explicitly a fork of the Debian GNOME repo so yes, it would be easy to move it back to team maintenance. I still wouldn't feel obligated to update every GNOME Shell extension myself since I don't use most of them. The standard team workflow is at https://wiki.debian.org/Gnome/Git but many of the packaged extensions don't fully follow that. This extension is a bit more complicated to maintain because upstream hasn't tagged any releases. I didn't get around to updating the documentation to describe how to use our workflow with git snapshots. You can ignore the team workflow for now though. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
