Hi Ben,

How are you?

I'm writing to check on the status of the towncrier package.  I noticed
that you have an apparently complete package on
https://salsa.debian.org/bignose/pkg-towncrier, but it hasn't been
uploaded and I can't find why.

I have a friend (who is also my namesake) who is interested in having
towncrier in the archive.  Maybe you can give us/him some pointers on
the current status of the package so that he can help you with it?

Thanks in advance,
