I mean outside of XMPP team in Debian, but not outside of Debian.
Now git repos for your packages are in independent Salsa group:
https://salsa.debian.org/kaidan-team
and I have found them only because I was searching for kaidan mentions in
Debian infrastructure.
As for adding of kaidan into Debian repos, then joining to specialized Debian
team usually simplify finding Debian Developers who are interested in
checking and uploading of your packages into Debian.
See this as an advertisement of our team:
https://salsa.debian.org/xmpp-team

And this is absolutely normal. Dino.im is not released yet and lucks some
features too, but it is already available in Debian and may work fine for
some not exacting users.

These are great news! Congratulations!
And now you have a choice between Debian XMPP team and Debian Qt+KDE team:
https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team

Excellent!

And this is fine. We are not in a hurry to anywhere.
