Oh cool, I didn't know there are use cases outside of protontricks besides some funny scraping tools. It lost a bit track of this due to Proton 5.13 not working with protontricks (at least when I checked last time), so I haven't done anything yet. > I already maintain some Python libraries, and this one looks straightforward > to package.

I wanted to maintain it the Games team, I suggest we can just add us both as uploaders. I also have packaged Python libraries before, it shouldn't have any surpises. If you already have stuff, send me the link to the salsa repo once uploaded, I can also do a bit of the chore if you want. > I don't think this needs to be in contrib, I think it would be fine > in main: the VDF format is associated with non-free Valve products, > but there's nothing inherently non-free about it.
