Thank you for the efforts you have put into these packages.  They are
officially team-maintained, so they will be looked after - meaning, we
won't ignore bug reports - and at your request, I will remove you as an
Uploader in a future upload.

I can appreciate that the git packaging workflow may seem convoluted
until you have used it for a while.  On the other hand, using a
consistent workflow simplifies the management of large numbers of
packages.  Therefore, I will also migrate ebook2cwgui into a repo on
Salsa.

Please file bug reports or contact the list if you see anything that
could be improved with the packaging.

Cheers,
