As dependencies for Syncthing, I think it would be best if these go under Debian Go Packaging Team maintenance if you decide to work on them. Oh, and to indirectly answer your question about team maintenance... There is a rule in Debian: No one can force you work on anything. Also, we have a social contract and a CoC, so if someone tries to guilt/shame you into doing work, that's wrong too! https://wiki.debian.org/SponsoredMaintainer https://go-team.pages.debian.net/ If your eventual objective is "Debian Maintainer" or "Debian Developer" status, then it may be useful to cultivate a rapport with another DD, because you'll need two advocates for the application. It's totally optional, of course! Humble regards, Nicholas
