Thank you both for the work you have and are doing for these packages. It would be appreciated if you would add admin permissions for me (kathenas) on the repos concerned. I will want to move them, hopefully under 'debian' at some point in the near future. Apostolos, I am happy to mentor you where I can if you wish to purse further contribution to the Debian project. I am nearly always at the end of my email, so do not hesitate to contact me. In the future you may wish to become the primary maintainer for these packages and I would be very happy to help you reach that goal. It is nice to hear a positive relationship with upstream is the situation past and present. Life is always easier for both sides if this is the case.
