You are welcome. As you can see I've responding to the mailing list
(after removing potentially private reasons). Please always stick
to the list which is important also for other mentees.

I hope you are interested in this software.

OK.

Would it be ok if I could ask you any doubts I might have? Otherwise what would be a good starting strategy ?
Please start with registering on salsa.debian.org and asking for
membership of med-team. This will grant you commit permissions.
Once you have a clone I would start editing the file debian/watch.
As you can find on the MoM page[1] there is a template for each
file so also for debian/watch files. Please adjust the old existing
cellprofile watch file to the new location and try
uscan --verbose --report
to see if this is working. Please come back here on the mailing list if
you face any issue with the suggested procedure (as minor this issue
might seem to you - we can easily help).
Kind regards
Andreas.
PS: And please put your name and the package cellprofiler at the end
of the table of the MoM page.
