...or integrate some REST call into other software,
e.g. Trac, GitLab...

To enter the PAPT (Python Applications Packaging Team), you need
to read the Debian Python policy (which is a good idea anyway,
because it describes how Python things work in Debian):
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/
Then write an email to the publich mailing list
debian-python@lists.debian.org and ask for membership in PAPT.
Mention, that you like to package buildbot and that you have read
the Python policy :~)

Thanks. In the next two weeks I will probably not have enough
time to look at your work, but maybe later...

Cheers
