I am not possessive about this package and would like to share
maintainer-ship if possible. For me this is contract work, I am not
doing this for myself, but for a customer, which will continue to use
this and packages around it for rolling out Linux-based Desktop systems
for their employees. So I suspect that this will be used and maintained
in any case, even if not my me personally.
well, if packaging work is covered any payed by the employee or
costumers than this is great as it also shows it's possible to earn
money with FOSS.
I just wanted to stress out that it's sometimes better to not start
packaging work if it's already recognizable that were will no time
afterwards to do the maintenance work, which is mostly more work than
the initial packaging. At some point almost every software will get some
security update which needs to get incorporated into the package and the
archive. As you work for DENX I'm quite sure what I mean. :-)
Debian already contains the tpm2-pkcs11 package, which in its newest
version (1.8.0) (see #1011376 [1]) will require tpm2-pytss (which this
is about). So I guess sooner or later (if tpm2-pkcs11 is still
maintained), someone will need to create tpm2-pytss as well.
tpm2-pkcs11 1.8.0 is required to fix bugs when used with openssl 3, that
are present in older versions (1.7.0).
My goal here mainly was to help and speed up the upgrade of tpm2-pkcs11
to 1.8.0 by supplying the tpm2-pytss package. Also of course avoiding
low-quality and duplicate work by providing the packages to upstream
Debian.

Yes, sure. I already started doing that as soon as my salsa account was
approved:
https://salsa.debian.org/cmhe/tpm2-pytss
That should work already, but currently I am just adding salsa-ci
support, and possible fixing some metadata issues.
I've take a look and opened up a MR to address some small things I've
noted. Your work looks good so far.

Feel free to cherry-pick or merge in the modifications.
