In fact, I got the debian folder part of it all done, placed in Ubuntu Cinnamon's GitHub Repos: https://github.com/Ubuntu-Cinnamon-Remix. For me, this is mostly an announcement post saying I'm ready.

I suggest that Fabio Fantoni <fantonifabio@tiscali.it>, if willing, should also help step up. He does a lot in playing with upstream, forwarding bug reports, etc. and I would love to be able to work with him.

@Norbert: today I added a d/patch to nemo from upstream
(https://salsa.debian.org/cinnamon-team/nemo/-/commit/6a500a1b7d48b3d2c2d665f1cd7243055cfd6b78)
that fixed some bugs with favorites including closing of #988924, I
already tested it, you think is possible upload it or it's not important
enough and will be fixed only in cinnamon 5 packages? (when will be
uploaded)
about upload packages if you want I'll start the procedure for DM
(https://nm.debian.org/person/fantu/), since 2014 I only contributed on
git (alioth and salsa) and upload was always did from some DDs
(including you)
