Could we work out of a git repository, instead, bypassing mentors?

My preferred workflow:
https://manpages.debian.org/jessie-backports/dgit/dgit-sponsorship.7.en.html

Why would you want a sponsor to look at the package that only has the
tarball changed?

If you are repacking the tarball, you should use 3.04.real-1, not -5.

Please show me the package that you actually want me to upload!
Preferably in git, so that nobody has to use debdiff :)
