For the future, please don't "top-post" and quote the part that you are
replying to.
Regarding your question, my request was mainly targeting contributors who
already have upload rights but you can certainly help by preparing some
packages so that we can just sponsor the upload. Since you don't have
commit rights yet, yes you should use
By preparing the package I mean:
- building the package
- fixing lintian errors/warnings
- maybe handling easy open bugs
- testing the updated package
- finalizing the changelog entry
- submitting your pull request
Cheers,
