  Description     : maintain an Ubuntu source package in a git tree

 git-ubuntu is tooling that provides unified git-based workflows for the
 development of Ubuntu source packages.
 .
 The git-ubuntu importer service maintains a view of the entire packaging
 version history of Ubuntu source packages using git repositories with a common
 branching and tagging scheme. The git-ubuntu CLI provides tooling and
 automation that understands these repositories to make the development of
 Ubuntu itself easier.
 .
 Since Ubuntu's packaging architecture pre-dates git, different packages have
 evolved to use different mechanisms to achieve the same thing. Developers had
 to learn them all in order to be effective when working across a wide range of
 packages. git-ubuntu's unification of these mechanisms allows for simpler, more
 general tooling, which results in faster onboarding of new developers and
 easier "drive-by" contributions.
 .
 git-ubuntu is useful for those inspecting, working on, or looking to contribute
 to Ubuntu source packages themselves.

I am using this package and plan to maintain it as part of the Debian
Python Team.
