I'm not aware of BTS issues, are you sure it's not just a timeout
getting the list of wnpp issues?
If that's the case you can avoid checking the existing wnpp reports with:
reportbug -I -b wnpp

Thanks, I'm looking forward to reviewing your work once it reaches Alioth.

Packaging the master branch doesn't sound like a good idea, it's usually
best to skip to packaging proper releases. uscan can easily monitor
those, unlike the git repositories branches.
There are only two commits on the master branches after the 1.1.0
release, the Mac compile issue is not relevant for the Debian package
build and the clang warning likely isn't either.
If there are changes in the upstream git repository that aren't included
in the release you can include those as quilt patches in the package.
Either use `git format-patch` to create the patches manually, or use
`gbp pq` to manage the quilt patches in a git branch.

And I've accepted your request, welcome to the team!

If you can push your sfcgal package to Alioth I can have a look at this too.
Kind Regards,
