I haven't been involved with Debian, but I'm trying to change that.I have plenty of Debian/Linux experience (15+ years) and I am familiar with git, but I have no direct experience with Debian packaging. I certainly understand not wanting to bring on someone with no previous experience.It would probably be better for me to start with bug triage and testing. The reason I decided to reply to your request for help was because of this paragraph:It would be helpful to have help even with just some areas, such as bugreports or some packages.*For example, the Mint icons and themes packages, which I had started but then got stuck due to possible copyright and trademark issues with the icons, which could take a long time.*Some users also request the packaging of additional nemo extensions. If someone can maintain them, we could consider adding more.Helping with the icon issues sounds like somewhere I could start and then we could move on from there.Hi, any help is welcome, Mint icons and themes packages was required by many users but I am not had time to complete them.Here an issue I opened upstream and result of my research: https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-x-icons/issues/198I haven't found enough certainties and it also seems to me that the copyright and trademark problems of the icons are "ignored" or taken less into consideration by the distributions, perhaps also because unfortunately they continue to add huge quantities of icons that would make it too expensive and limiting (I suppose due to the increase in the use of snap and flatpak).mint-y-icons was added on Debian, mint-x-icons I started prepared it but I was blocked by copyright doubts: https://salsa.debian.org/cinnamon-team/mint-x-iconsI can update the packaging if you plan to work on it to see if you can figure out how to get a complete and correct d/copyright file that is acceptable to ftp-master and if there are any icons that need to be removed
