Yes.  My SoB offer is exactly to make sure that newcomers learn to care
for the web sentinel. :-)

I'm perfectly fine to proxy this kind of patches to the web Blends
project.  Just pinging me about this is perfectly fine.  However,
for the moment you wanted to inject this one

Please note that the web sentinel is able to refer to packages which are
only residing in VCS.  This enabley way less code in the tasks pages by
ensuring that the data remain up to date according changes in VCS.
Since you currently want to get mathicgb sponsored I just injected this.
I'd suggest we should inject macaulay2 later if you have commited some
basic packaging in VCS (only the Pkg-URL field should be probably added
since this can not be fetched from VCS).  Feel free to ask me for
injecting the entry you proposed and I'll do it as well.

Regarding the mathicgb package itself:  I have added citation
information in debian/upstream/metadata.  It would be nice if you would
follow the scheme documented at

   https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata

to add these data to all your packages.  This information is also added
to the tasks pages (after the next cron job run in about 24h).

Hope this helps

     Andreas.
