Hi,
Sure, I've added you now. The project is pkg-request-tracker and we do
use Git. There's no very widely defined workflows but it's a small
team - I'm sure anything that is fine with pkg-perl will be fine with
RT too. It looks like I missed adding the Vcs* tags to that package
but it is in git:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-request-tracker/rt-extension-nagios.git
NB - the source package name doesn't have '4' and the binary package does.
This is to allow multiple plugins for different major versions of
RT to be built and coinstalled in the future.
