Hi I would like to join the Debian Python Team. I have read the policy.rst and accept it.
I plan to contribute on existing packages such as python-vlc (for which I am the upstream author), python-gstreamer and python-gtk, and also would like to reintroduce the Advene package. Advene[1] is a video annotation software (GPL), developed with python, Gtk and Gstreamer. It was present in older Debian releases [2], but got removed some years ago due to major migrations (python2->python3, Gtk2->Gtk3, Gstreamer0.10->Gstreamer1.0). Since then, the application has been updated and is now in good shape to be reintroduced into Debian. The updated Debian package[3], migrated from cdbs to dh_python, has been used/tested for at least 3 years (distributed through a private repository[4]). As per [5]/[6] a ITP bug has been filed: #1014535 It was previously maintained under the Multimedia Team umbrella, but I think the python team may be a better umbrella. I am looking for help/sponsorship from the Python Team to help getting the package back in Debian. I can do most of the work but would welcome guidance wrt the current practices of python packages. Happy hacking!
