I've packaged Twitter already, but I'm in need of a sponsor since I'm a DM only.
I've uploaded the twistar packaging to Alioth, it's at git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/python-modules/packages/twistar.git. I've used the default git-dpm branch names (master, upstream and pristine-tar). I noticed there is some discussion on this list on branch names, but I've followed the now-official https://wiki.debian.org/Python/GitPackaging. The module is Python 2 only. Upstream doesn't support Python 3, and since twisted (the major dependency of twistar) is Python 2-only in Debian (AFAIK), it wouldn't make much sense anyway. The package builds correctly with pbuilder in a clean sid chroot, without lintian errors (some pedantic and experimental comments). I'd appreciate if one of the more experienced developers from the team would take a look at the package and I look forward to your comments, and to working togethers to get this package and (later) the denyhosts synchronisation server into Debian.
