I agree, but I took it from 
drf-extensions -> python3-djangorestframework-extensions
drf-generators -> python3-djangorestframework-generators
drf-haystack -> python3-djangorestframework-haystack

on the other hand there is:
djangorestframework-gis -> python3-djangorestframework-gis

I don't care which is used. I guess djangorestframework-filters is
clearer, and closer to upstream so people can find it. I'll go with
that unless someone says the drf-* names are a better plan.

So I need to join the team to do anything in the salsa repos? I don't
claim any real python extertise (I can just about read it - I try to
avoid writing it as I'm a bash, perl and C person). I would prefer to
sort this out to a decent standard and then hand it over the python
team for maintenance, but I can join up as a minor conributor if that
works better.

It occurs to me that you probably prefer me to do this as a branch in
the drf-extensions salsa repo, rather than a simple NMU? I prefer the
latter as I know how to do that (sbuild+dupload), but if I have the
permissions I can have a go at this newfangled git-pq + salsa stuff. I
presume that'll be less work for you guys and I suppose I'll learn
something :-)
