After my message was sent, I was informed by Salsa afterwards at 4:18PM
my time (Eastern US, currently UTC-4) that the repository was made in
Debian's namespace for Debian/xca, and my access was provided to the
repository as Maintainer.  Thank you to the Debian teams in question for
this, as well as for providing me that access.  It definitely will
assist in moving this forward, as well as making Vcs-Git maintenance of
this much easier.

Using the provided gbp command from Tobias in the prior emails (thanks
for the command, I"m still getting the full hang of gbp, so every bit of
helpful information you can provide is appreciated), and that provided
access on Salsa, I have populated the repository with the data from the
dscs, which includes the pristine-tar and the upstream branches.  This
data, based from what I can tell on 2.0.1 in Unstable, as well as all
the tags, has been uploaded to the repository to get us a 'baseline'
from what's in Debian.  I have not made any efforts as of yet to apply
updated packaging changes, nor to address the bugs that I've identified
in Unstable need changes (including the version bumps).

Note that these changes and this repository, as well as my use of the
gbp workflow thus far, I am going to be basing the remainder of my ITS
and the packaging I will be uploading to Mentors for sponsoring to
here.  At that time, the ITS will be 'waiting' for further movement.

Only two remaining questions for this before I move forward with
updating the Salsa repository with further changes (or the preferred way
I would be doing to get a second set of eyes on the changes, a pull
request from my own namespace in for all three branches). As I am
currently not the specified maintainer for this package, and given that
I have filed this ITS:

(1) should I write the changelog entries from the perspective of an NMU
or as if I am the maintainer/co-maintainer of the repository?

(2) Should the Uploaders field be updated in the process as well to
include myself as well, or should I let that be handled at a later point
in time by the MIA team or by another DD?
