Good reasons to pick this one :) > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1075810 Thank you for the link. > That said, in the ITP I stated intent to maintain alone for now.

The current team is an amalgam of a Debian Python Libraries project and Debian Python Applications project, btw. > Should I ask them if it's ok to append myself to their team with this > package anyway ? What do you say ? > https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonTeam You'll need to read the Team Policy as well as Policy requirements. In terms of "is it worth it?" My experience is yes, and as I mentioned previously, you'll grow faster and build reputation faster on a team. Note that admission to the DPT is currently rather slow. > You mentioned a colleague of yours was interested in this software. > Since you're busy, maybe he could help with sponsorship ? Maybe...although, it's almost always faster to just do the work oneself rather than review, mentor, and sponsor. > Regarding keysigning: > I've read the links you've sent, thank you; I've been over the Key > offers page before; sadly the only offer in my country is in Timisoara > which is over 500 km from Bucharest.

Maybe Debian Developers are outliers when considering a standard distribution of a population? :) If I remember correctly there is someplace persistent where you can publish your request for key-signing. Don't give up hope that someone might come to you, because Bucharest has one or more good universities. For example, someone could hypothetically attend this conference: https://internationalconferencealerts.com/eventdetails.php?id=2398703 Or one of the conferences that looks like someone from the Debian Science Team might attend. https://internationalconferencealerts.com/conferences/bucharest > My key is ok, I checked. Excellent! > I guess I'll have to wait for my plans of becoming DM :) There are people who will sign your key based on reputation rather than in-person government-issued ID validation. As mentioned previously, you can speed this along by joining a team, contributing to email discussions, signing your emails, signing your commits, etc. >> I'll reply to our other thread(s?) soonish, and please ping me in two >> weeks if I haven't yet. >> > Please don't watch the YouTube link I sent, unless you want to listen > to rookie guitar riffs 101 :D Haha, well, if I listen to/watch it, would you like potentially useful feedback?
