Hello, Okay, I will get familiar with Debian by browsing BTS and help to do some triaging. If I find interesting patches attached to a bug, or interesting upstream patch, security patch or change to do in the package, I will propose a merge request on Salsa. I will also ping the reporters, according to the status of the bug. Thanks for your feedback, Regards, Romain
