Bug#903438: RFA: asciinema -- Record and share your terminal sessions, the right way

[Baptiste BEAUPLAT <lyknode@cilg.org>]

Hello Gustavo,

I would be interessted in becoming maintainer for asciinema.

Note that I've never been a maintainer for an official Debian package
though I'm quite familiar with building Debian packages (mostly to
deploy configurations over Debian servers for my work).

Since I've been using Debian for the last decade, I've decided it's time
for me to start contributing to the projet. I was thinking going through
the process to becoming a sponsored maintainer for this package.

I would wait for the next upstream release or bugreport for this package
to submit the built package to mentors.debian.net.

Anyhow, I hope this is helpful.

Cheers,
