[Following-up from IRC conversation]

Hi Kernel Team,

I'm the maintainer of iw, which currently has me as the only Maintainer,
and packaging is hosted under debian/ on salsa. I think it would be
better to have the package maintained by the kernel team (with me as an Uploader), and hosted under kernel-team/ on salsa.

To be clear: I want to keep maintaining the package, but given that it's
widely used I think it's better to allow non-NMU uploads from a relevant
team (iw upstream is on kernel.org).

The feedback I've got on IRC is positive, but I'd like to get a +1 on
the mailing list, so there's a record of the decision. Are you happy
with the move? If the answer is positive I'll request salsa access, open
a salsa ticket to move the project and update d/control.

(This case is almost identical to what happened with iproute2 [1].)

Thanks,

Paride

Hi again,

I just noticed that iw 5.19 is out and I'd like to package it. Looks
like a good occasion to move the repo under the kernel team.

I'm totally fine with a NACK, but it would be a pity to skip what I
believe is an improvement because my previous email drowned in automated
mail, which I have the impression is what happened.

Cc: Ben Hutchings, as he gave a +1 to the iproute2 proposal [1].

Cheers,

Paride

I'd be happy to accept iw into team maintenance, if there are no
objections.

Our package repositories generally have CI enabled, so I've just opened
a merge request to do that for iw.

Ben.

Thanks Ben. As nobody objected in about one week I filed a salsa support
ticket requesting a repository move:

https://salsa.debian.org/salsa/support/-/issues/300

The next iw upload will have the Kernel Team as Maintainer and me as
Uploader.

Our package repositories generally have CI enabled, so I've just opened
a merge request to do that for iw.

It's merged and working fine, thanks.
