Sure, if the maintainer of the particular package allows to push security
updates of {E,L}TS process, feel free to do it! Just drop the repo and
change the link in the VCS.
Point is: if the LTS repo already exists, I assume there was a conscious
decision /not/ to host it in the maintainer's repo. (Otherwise every
contributor would ask the maintainer every time they prepare an upload.)
I think creating the repo is the uploader's responsibility, not the
front-desk's or coordinator's.

Hi Sylvain,
thanks for your feedback!
as you know one of our goals is to keep the git-history of all {E,L}TS
uploads. Some semi-automatic repo creation scripts are in a test phase
to ease this process. I have created some repos and
imported the last available security versions of packages into that.
Sure, if the maintainer of the particular package allows to push security
updates of {E,L}TS process, feel free to do it! Just drop the repo and
change the link in the VCS.
You are right, now the bot "anonymously" creates repos, it will
be changed in the next couple of days.
Best regards
Anton

Pre-creating Git repos in salsa.d.o/lts-team/packages/ - or not?
Hi, I see that a few repositories in salsa.d.o/lts-team/packages/ were created for packages that haven't been claimed yet. https://salsa.debian.org/lts-team/packages?sort=created_desc (I'm not sure who/what did it exactly, there's activity from "Bot-LTS-package", which may be the 'package-operations' script, then manual activity from Anton.) That means the repo was created and imported before there was a chance to discuss with the package maintainers whether they want to host the (E)LTS branch there or at another location (such as, their own salsa repo). I think this adds confusion. When I check the "VCS" field in dla-needed.txt, I assume this is the preferred repository for development, following an explicit decision from a previous contributor who worked on the package - not the result of semi-automation. Thoughts? Cheers! Sylvain
