There is no pull request or indication as to where to send patches. If you can please submit patches upstream yourself.

The packaging in debian doesn't match the packaging in git repo listed on branchable.com website, nor in the packaging metadata. So that's wrong and needs correcting, cause debian/control Vcs-Git should point to what's in debian. And salsa is an obvious choice for that. Maybe do publish packaging repository there and update metadata. I am just a drive-by contributor, as I am working on removing python2.7 from Ubuntu. So I am definitely a one-off and not a co-maintainer to be =) If you are a responsive patch acceptor, it's more than enough for all the Ubuntu drive-bys ;-) -- Regards, Dimitri.
