Hi David,
wow, that was a quick response! Thanks a lot for your great
cooperation.

I have created
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ufiformat
which includes the patch for the watch file and the result of
lintian-brush
which fixes some lintian issues for you. Having a package on Salsa has
several advantages, for instance you can have CI like this
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ufiformat/-/pipelines/1133041
I have not found you on Salsa. If you have some login there please tell
me the login name to grant you permissions on this repository. If not
please create a login. For SPAM protection means this is a manual
process which might last 24-48h or so. Please let me know once this is
done.
Regarding NMUs you might like to read
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#non-maintainer-uploads-nmus
However, NMUs are appropriate in case the maintainer is not able to
respond for whatever reason. It somehow feels wrong if you answer that
promptly. I rather wonder whether you might be open for maintenance
in the Debian Commons team as suggested here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2026/05/msg00105.html
If you agree to this I can easily do a team upload. This would be my
prefered solution since it is the easiest way of collaboration.
If you like this I can happily do the same for wordgrinder and see
what I can do for the open RC bug.
Thanks again for your quick response
Andreas.
