No offense taken, I am just not adept in sharing git repositories.

Go ahead. Actually, it would IMO be best to ditch the repository and
push a clone of Danny's work or keep working on github.

Fine with me.

I am not leaving because you offended me, I am leaving because I see
that there are other people taking better care of the package that I
could with my limited time.
It was entirely my fault for not pushing the pristine-tar branch to
the shared repo and for sitting on my local 0.24 version for a month
because I wanted to have it verified working first.

Neither am I.

Who does the work says how the work is done.
I usually use gbp-import-orig --pristine-tar to maintain the
pristine-tar branch and build with gbp buildpackage. Inside the
repository there is a package in 3.0 (quilt) format.
