Added in the `Source' field.  Also added upstream maintainer to the
`Upstream-Contact' field.

Ah I see.  So for d/copyright we need to stick to the source
information.  Dropped Wilfred from the list of copyright holders for
now.  Also opened a PR upstream for tracking[1].

Got it.  Also dropped ".gitignore".

It should have been "electric indentation".  Fixed now.

As this is the first time I attempt of ITP/RFS, I'd like to go over the
steps for packaging as much as possible if OK.  But AIUI this package
will need to go through the NEW queue, so I guess if you sponsor my
upload to mentors.d.n it may require some extra steps, then I'm OK if
what you propose can save some trouble.

Thanks!
