Hi again, I just noticed that iw 5.19 is out and I'd like to package it. Looks like a good occasion to move the repo under the kernel team. I'm totally fine with a NACK, but it would be a pity to skip what I believe is an improvement because my previous email drowned in automated mail, which I have the impression is what happened. Cc: Ben Hutchings, as he gave a +1 to the iproute2 proposal [1]. Cheers, Paride [2] https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2022/04/msg00065.html
