Julias,

I noticed that your package control file does not include the Vcs-Git and Vcs-
Browser fields.  These specify the location of the repository that contains the 
Debian packaging.  When sponsoring packages, I like to pull the code directly 
from this repository instead of using the copy uploaded to Mentors.

You are free to host the repository anywhere you like, but I would recommend 
you consider placing it on Salsa, which is a GitLab server hosted by Debian 
and which has some nice integrations with the larger Debian community.

You can see how this is done for Privacy Browser:
