</span>There are several ways to maintain packages:<br>
<br>
* Debian Developer (DD): can upload any package and can vote<br>
* Debian Maintainer (DM): can upload designated packaged<br>
* Member of some team: can prepare and have DM or DD in team upload<br>
* individual: can prepare and have DD sponsor an upload<br>
<br>
You are certainly quite welcome to become a DD or DM, but what I<br>
suggested - and find quite appropriate - was only that you join this<br>
team and commit to continuous ongoing supervision and care for the<br>
wellbeing of the package, i.e. that you _maintain_ the package - as<br>
opposed to only initially _create_ the package and then leave it to<br>
bitrot (or hope that someone else pick up where you left off).<br>
<br>
If your interest now is limited to helping with an initial single<br>
package release then that is fine too: Then I suggest you publish the<br>
work you are able to do on your own somewhere and file a so-called "RFP"<br>
bugreport to propose others to pick up from there.<br>
<br>
But I sure hope you are in it for the long run, as a team member.<br>
<br>
What is your interest?<br>
