Hi Charlie,

I'd like for 'ruff' to be packaged in Debian at some point, and am beginning
that process, although it could take some time (I'm not all that familiar with
Rust yet, and from what I've learned about the Debian rust utilities, automated
packaging is available for cargo-installable codebases, but is a more manual
process otherwise.  I've found and will follow the issuetracker item[1]).

Would you be OK with being listed as the upstream contact for a Debian 'ruff'
package, if-and-when it becomes available?

(as context: generally the Debian package maintainer will handle and filter
bugreports from Debian users without any need for your involvement (although
you could subscribe to activity if interested).  In some cases they could then
contact you with details about problems found and/or fixes discovered.  When
that process is working effectively, it should be mutually beneficial.

Cheers,
James
