The maintainer for this package is the Python Modules Team <python-modules-t...@lists.alioth.debian.org>, it seems you are already a member of that team, the https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonModulesTeam/HowToJoin page says this about packages: There is a unwritten policy about the usage of Maintainer and Uploaders field, you might be interested to know about: If the team is in the Maintainer field (and you are in Uploaders field) then every member of the team can apply changes to the package and upload it freely; if you are in the Maintainer field (and the team is in Uploaders field) then every member of the team can apply changes to the package but any upload should be acknowledged by you (there are some exceptions, like uploads to fix RC bugs, but are infrequent). As a general rule of thumb, just set Maintainer to the team; there might be some exceptions, like in situations where the package is so complex that a check from a knowledgeable person is welcome before an upload but they are very rare. If the team is in Maintainer field, remember to subscribe appropriate mailing list or at least bts and contact keywords on this page. So, it seems like you are free to update the package! micah
