Thank you for starting this project.

Agreed.
In its early days, can I convince you to move the project away from
the proprietary GitHub silo? That will limit the participation from
people who care about keeping their contributions on free platforms

There is currently a transition within the official Debian
infrastructure for VCS hosting, so it's not *quite* feasible for me to
point you to an “official” Debian VCS host.
In the meantime, I would recommend using the free-software platforms
Launchpad <URL:https://launchpad.net/> or a GitLab instance

project away from a proprietary silo.

I would love to contribute – I have the Python skills you discuss, and
recognise the problem you're solving – once the project is on a
free-software platform where I can in good conscience maintain an
account.
