Hello, I saw Samuel already replied to the most important points. I want to add the following: - please contribute only packages that you are willing to maintain over some time, we don't want one-time contributions introducing new packages. One-time contributions are fine for bugfixes and version upgrades not so much for new packages (unless someone else — like Samuel ;-) — is also interested in helping with the package). - pick one or two package at a time and go through them, try to select packages that have a chance to go through NEW (no license issue, no dirty hacks like downloading dependencies during build time) Let us know the packages that you want to work one and we create the project in the pkg-security team and we grant you access to those projects. - for packages that you import from Kali, please reuse the exact same orig.tar.gz or change the upstream version to avoid file conflicts on the Kali side when we import Debian packages Welcome in the team!
