Hi,

and thanks for your interest in joining the Perl Team!

I've just added you to the perl-team/modules group on Salsa, welcome aboard!

I know that you've already found our docs at
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/Welcome
https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/
(especially policy.html and git.html)
and also our IRC channel - so there's not much more of onboarding
info left, expect maybe:

For adding new packages, please use `dpt salsa pushrepo'.  The other dpt-*
tools might be helpful as well :)


Cheers,
gregor

To quote myself (from a private mail about a similar piece of
software):

"This thing doesn't resemble a CPAN distribution and doesn't use a
perl build system (unless I missed something), it's just written in
perl.

So I think it's not a natural fit for the perl team as it probably has
nothing in common with almost all of the other packages there; but it
wouldn't be the sole outlier, so if you look for some co-maintainers
who do at least some automated QA improvements, I won't object to
adding it :)"


Cheers,
gregor
