Well done Felix, I just uploaded it with one minor correction to short
package description which shouldn't start with capital letter:
-Description: Humorous typo-based git runner; drives a car over the terminal
+Description: humorous typo-based git runner; drives a car over the terminal
Please update your repository to reflect this change.

Your work will be highly appreciated if you contribute such check to
lintian . :)
But please keep in mind that there are a legitimate cases of dual
licensing that like "GPL-2+ or Expat" that new lintian check should
recognise.

"Forwarded: no" means simply that the patch is not forwarded (yet).
This is to mark pending patches that potentially useful upstream.

Thank you.

Congratulations. :)
Hopefully your new package will be approved by ftp-masters soon.
You can find "gti" in NEW queue:
https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html
Please keep in mind that any package is best to be team-maintained.
I'd like to suggest you to get account on Alioth [1] so you could join
miscellaneous packaging teams [2] that are close to your heart. I
imagine you might be interested to participate in "pkg-games" [3] and
hopefully some other teams.
