Hi, I want to join the DPMT team. My main goal is to help to maintain some packages which I maintain upstream. For example, the python-kiwi package. It is very outdated on Debian and when I contacted its maintainer he said that I should fell free to takeover the maintainership and to contact someone from the DPMT team to sponsor my upload.
I'm already familiar with packaging as I'm currently maintaining a PPA used to deploy Stoq [1], an open source retail system that is developed by the company I work (Async Open Source). Not only I package new versions of stoq and its dependencies that we develop (python-kiwi, stoqdrivers), but I also package some python libraries that are not in the official Ubuntu repositories. For example, weasyprint, python-tinycss and python-pyphen which I packaged from scratch, and others like python-cssselect which I backported from debian itself. Those which I packaged from scratch I want to upload to upload to debian too. Btw, I'm Debian testing/sid user since 2011. I have read the DPMT policy page [2] and I accept it. My alioth login is 'hackedbellini-guest'. I just created it. Please let me know how should I proceed now.
