Sorry, that's not team maintenance. The only sensible place to do the
maintenance of the Debian packaging is on git.debian.org. We have
developed a complex system of tools working with this repository and
there is no advantage to use Github.

I'd suggest to base the first commit on the latest Debian release and
inject your latest packaging on top of this. Where exactly do you have
this packaging?

I'd suggest simply 2.2.0.

Sure we can. I'm not sure whether you are interested in a Mentoring
of the Month project[1]. I'd suggest to update all the libs and than
continue with the applications you consider worth packaging.

I'd suggest to sneak into the Debian Med team policy[2] which gives a
sensible introduction about the things to do. The first would be to get
a login on alioth.debian.org which will grant you commit permissions to
the team repository (once we've added your id to the team).

Thanks for your cooperation
