I just got around opening two new RFPs, and turn an existing RFP into an ITP. For each one, I sent a ping upstream. The responses I got were all overwhelmingly positive: - https://github.com/bvschaik/julius/issues/739 - https://github.com/deathkiller/jazz2-native/issues/87 - https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/discussions/7556 So my advice is to go for it, maintaining software in Debian is much more fun when there is a positive exchange with the upstream. Were I to encounter an hostile upstream (it has not happened to me yet, but will surely at some point), I guess I would give up on the related software and go package something else. There is many software out there that would deserve to be packaged into Debian, so we can afford to be picky and only work with the nice upstreams.
