Please note that native packages should have debian/ packaging in
their VCS and make a new release for every change to debian/, however
minor.
Please mention the VCS info in the upstream tarball somewhere. HACKING
or README.devel or something.
About github, you might want to switch to collab-maint instead:

The bug should simply be closed, mentioning your RFS mail.

Also, do you have any comment on this mail? The original author
expressed a desire to get involved with development of apt-spy again.
Please contact them and see if they are still interested:

In my reply to that mail I suggested collab-maint (or alioth in
general) as the place to host apt-spy:

This one can be ignored if you intended to switch to a native package.
It will go away for the upload after the one switching to native
