Use it to do what, though? The package description is currently:
git interoperability with the Debian archive
dgit (with the associated infrastructure) makes it possible to
treat the Debian archive as a git repository.
.
dgit push constructs uploads from git commits
.
dgit clone and dgit fetch construct git commits from uploads.
That sounds to me like it isn't a tool for maintainers, but rather a
tool for “interoperability with the Debian archive” which AFAICT is
already provided by the tools I am using.
If the package does something that should be of interest to package
maintainers in general, I'd expect the description to be a lot clearer
what that is and why it's of interest.
My apologies for publicly pointing to a package description for
criticism, but it seems relevant to the claim that the package is for
“every maintainer who uses git” that the description should explain why
that is.
