Team maintain Guile/Guix-related packages under debian-scheme?



Hi

We have a bunch of Guile-related packages in Debian, see list below.

Do you have any thoughts on team-maintaining these packages?

I'm trying to understand if there are enough interested Guile people in
Debian who want to collaborate like some other successful Debian
packaging teams.  Maybe we can help take care of these packages
together, sharing some of the load.

To avoid inflating the number of groups further, the closest team that I
could find that is suitable seems like the Debian Scheme Dream Team,
which only owns four packages:

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-scheme%40lists.debian.org

There are some more packages here: https://salsa.debian.org/scheme-team

Barak, Gwen, Jeronimo, NIIBE, what do you think about Guile people
joining the Scheme team to team-maintain some Guile packages?

There is a bunch of similarities like the following hacks, which could
use a wiki page to discuss.

override_dh_dwz:
        dh_dwz --exclude=.go
override_dh_shlibdeps:
        dh_shlibdeps --exclude=.go

I would be happy to move 'guile-fibers' and 'shepherd' as
team-maintained packages, if there are no objections to this.  If others
is happy to see their package move too, we could all help to make that
happen.

I prefer to keep the packages in the /debian/ Salsa namespace though,
moving packages around is noisy and there isn't really any significant
advantage with this as far as I can tell.  But this aspect isn't
important.
