Bug#273322: Adopting nco package?

[Charlie Zender <zender@uci.edu>]

Dear all,

I am interested in starting the new maintainer process with the
goal of becoming the nco package maintainer.
I am NCO's author and have long wanted to be the Debian maintainer,
and I've finally got some free time to start the process.
Now that Daniel Baumann and Warren Turkal have updated the netcdf
package to 3.6.1, debian has what I need to keep nco up-to-date.
All the Debian procedures are new to me, so forgive me if I am not
going through the right channels.

Anyway, I do need help to learn the ropes.
As a first start I've merged the nco_2.9.9-3 packaging into the
current NCO distribution, nco_3.1.7-1.
The results are here:

http://dust.ess.uci.edu/nco/src/nco_3.1.7-1.dsc
http://dust.ess.uci.edu/nco/src/nco_3.1.7-1_i386.changes
http://dust.ess.uci.edu/nco/src/nco_3.1.7-1_i386.deb
http://dust.ess.uci.edu/nco/src/nco_3.1.7-1.tar.gz

Any help appreciated,
Charlie
