short review, based on the mentors version uploaded 2025-08-08 19:27

d/README.source should contain information as described in 
  Debian Policy 4.14 - it does not, so best is to delete this file.

d/changelog:
  The initial upload of a package only one entry:

  - Initial release (Closes: #890252)  <nnnn is the bug number of your ITP>

  remove the other/older entries.

  (That will also fix a lintian warning)

 d/control:

  Please remove versions constraints of your B-Ds that are already fulfilled
  since oldstable. (that is for geany in your case.)

  You don't need to Depend on geany-common, it is pulled in by geany
  already.

  VCS-Fields point to where the packaging is happening, not the upstream
  repo. (Upstream has a debian directory, so this will be extra
  confusing.)
  Please create a repository e.g on salsa.debian.org.
  If you want me to create a repo in the Debian namespace, give me a
  poke and I'll add you to the ACL as well.

  I think the Homepage-Field should point to https://editorconfig.org/

Lintian:
W: editorconfig-geany source: odd-historical-debian-changelog-version 1 (for non-native) [debian/changelog:8]
I: editorconfig-geany source: debian-watch-contains-dh_make-template Example watch control file for uscan [debian/watch]
I: editorconfig-geany: hardening-no-bindnow [usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/geany/editorconfig-geany.so]

Please update the package and then remove the moreinfo tag.

(Note: I did not do the copyright review yet)
