Thank you very much for your interest in contributing a new song package
for fretsonfire. I'm also CCing the debian-devel-games list which is our
preferred mailing list for discussions whereas pkg-games-devel is
intended to be a bug mailing list.

Basically you will be the upstream maintainer of
fretsonfire-songs-zephurne and at the same time also the Debian
maintainer of this package. You can take a look at the existing songs
packages, fretsonfire-songs-muldjord and fretsonfire-songs-sectoid. Just
download one of the source packages and modify it. Make a release on
github and tag it, so that all interested parties can download a tarball
of your work. This is also called the original upstream sources. Unpack
the content and place your modified debian directory inside it. Then run
dpkg-source -b and build the package with either dpkg-buildpackage or
debuild.

Please also read the information for new maintainers at

https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers

and follow them. If you have successfully built the package, please
upload it to mentors.debian.net and ask for a review on the
debian-devel-games mailing list.

Cheers,

Markus
