That's great!

Well, until about five minutes ago, there was no Salsa repository at all - I maintained my Debian packaging of dante on GitLab for historical reasons (and your MR was there, not on Salsa). Now, however, there is a Salsa repo and I just invited your @aerusso account there with maintainer privileges to https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dante Now, yeah, that might mean you may have to transfer your work from the GitLab repo over there, but Git makes this relatively easy :) Of course, before uploading a new version, the Vcs-* tags in the control file should be adjusted to point to Salsa. Thanks for your interest in this package, and sorry again for the delay in acknowledging your work!
