Hi Kyle, (or other interested/involved parties)

Bazel has suddenly become more important because it is preventing us from
getting packages working that would help with the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to
the significance, I am copying the Debian Med team as well as key people
from this bug's history in the hopes of getting something moving quickly.

I can relate to the kid/time issues! ;) Have you had any time to work on it
recently? Did you ever upload any of your work?

In the meantime, I see that Bazel has an unofficial Ubuntu build [1]. Do
you know anything about that? It seems like a good place for us to start if
you aren't close to a product yourself.

Oh, and to state this explicitly: I'm happy to work on this if it'll help
it get into Debian faster! I just don't want to step on anyone's toes if
someone has already made significant progress on this ITP.
