Hi For me it is ok, I am just a newbie in packaging.
I have received help from a debian mentor Anibal Montalve Salazar < ani...@debian.org>, but I got no references for gbp (yet another Debian packaging toolchain ? ) what is exactly a collab-maint repository, a Git repo for the package host somewhere ? I am ok with whatever, Plz go ahead creating the repo (if have permissions).
