My aim is to maintain it in the team, yes. Previously, I maintained the
package in Debian, although I never became an actual Debian developer and
relied on a mentor to perform uploads. This time round, I envisaged that it
would be more sustainable if I joined the Debian Python Team, maintained the
package, but would be able to rely on uploaders in the team to perform the
uploads.
However, I did not presume that I could just set the Maintainer field in
debian/control before applying to join the team, nor did I set any particular
headers or metadata in the ITP for shedskin to reference the team, since I
thought that this might be impolite. I imagine that I would change the
Maintainer as noted in the team policy if the package were to be adopted
within the team.
