I am the upstream maintainer. 

Developed in Go, single dependency already in Debian https://packages.debian.org/stable/golang-golang-x-oauth2-dev

For someone familiar with Debian packaging, should be easy to package using dh-make-golang https://go-team.pages.debian.net/packaging.html

Supplements Git. Similar to Git Credential Manager (not in Debian https://bugs.debian.org/1002300)
