Hello,

Sorry for the delay, I hadn't realised that I had forgotten to actually
send this draft:

For sure, and also, it's been the default keyserver in Debian since 2019
(gnupg 2.2.17-1) ;) Yeah, I've also noticed pgp.mit.edu has gotten
slower and more unreliable than in the past.  P.S. This might be a bit
pedantic, but doesn't your key have five redundant signatures that could
be deleted?

Hmm, it appears that these patches were forwarded to a fork.  The Source
is set to git://repo.or.cz/muse-el.git (debian/and the Homepage is set
to https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs-muse/index.html (debian/control).
As the new maintainer it's your right to switch upstream sources, but I
recommend you ask some team members and #debian-mentors on irc or the
mailing list about what the downsides to this may be; the mailing list
archives might have a record of someone else asking a question like
this.  I'll support your decision once you let me know you've
investigated and considered.

What is your intention here?  Are you rebasing our package onto this
fork, or are you using the fork as a code dump, or something else?

The aspects relating to the upload look good to me.

Oh, there's one more thing that needs to be fixed before we upload:
Bug #1048114

Take care,
