Hi Dominic, thank you for your quick response.

Good argument. Since we now have some Git repository for this package do you think it makes sense to move it somewhere else on Salsa? I noticed openguides guides is at https://salsa.debian.org/dom/openguides It would be perfectly fine for me if you move libwiki-toolkit-plugin-diff-perl to your space on Salsa and upload what I prepared. Feel perfectly free to take over the authorship of the upload in case you want to upload that work. In any case it makes sense to move the repository away from perl team. > Thanks for your concern.
