@Loren As an sponsored maintainer and hence subscriber to this mailing list, I
think a subject line with a specific ticket number, package name and -- in the
particular case -- the acronym RFS would ease to follow up the progress of your work. Ideally it were the template reaching level 4 / Find a sponsor[1] offers.
Thank you for your feedback. While I am a long-time Debian user and
built packages for personal use, this is my first attempt to contribute
back so am still learning the process. I will work on filing a proper
RFS bug report with the template as documented on the Mentors Wiki.
Inferring from your message filed by Sun, 21 Jan 2024 02:29:20 -0800 your work
relates to rpm[2] with its RFA[3] (and hence, an existing ticket) I fetched a fork by
```
git clone http://www.north-winds.org/git/rpm.git
```
File `/debian/changelog` for your new version 4.18.2+dfsg-1 does not explicitly mention to close (including the corresponding ticket numbers, and a `closes: #NNNNNNN`) one of the bugs currently (15:10 UTC +1) listed on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=rpm. If your work addressed them, may you amend accordingly the changelog file?
Yes, I will upload the changelog. So the standard procedure it to
normally file a bug report first so the changelog can be updated to
reflect it and then the source package can be generated for upload?
Are you member of the pkg-rpm-team? If not, and if the package now were maintained by you, a successful upload to Debian likely might require an update of debian/control, in lines of `Vcs-Browser:` and `Vcs-Git:`.
I have sent a request to join the team from the email in the Maintainers
field. I also looked at the Team page, but they reference a non-existent mailing list on Alioth.

I don't plan to move the Git hosting from Salsa. My branches are based
on the latest tip from the repo on Salsa and my goal is that that are
just merged into that repo.
Best regards,
Norwid
