Dear Mira, dear maintainers, Thank you for your answer. It's been a couple of years I'm using Debian and I'm very interested in the project. Being maintainer sounds thus good, what is the process for that?
What will I have to do? I could package Polyphone and also the sfArkLib in a first step (it has been asked in the review of my package). Then, I'm a user of the great software jOrgan, which has an RFP ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666164). I could try to package it as well. How much packages am I supposed to maintain? And I understand that each maintainer is volonteer and that we should "bother" them as less as possible, but as I'm quite a newbie I'm likely to have some questions. Where can I get some help if I need? What happened if I maintain a package and that I can't find a solution for a problem?
