Hi Ruben, This looks like a good little package (and its partner), and I would be happy to be a co-uploader within the Debian Multimedia Team. I am nearly a DM, but I cannot sponsor the package. Unfortunately I fell at the first hurdle when taking a look at it. It seems you have made the package directly from the upstream git repository. This is okay, but I was not able to easily test build the package without an original tarball. Maybe it would be a good idea to build and upload to debian.mentors even if the eventual sponsor comes form within the debian-multimedia team? That makes it easy to to check for lintian errors without the reviewer having to build it themselves. It also means there is an *orig.tar for the reviewer :-) without having to create one. Even though the package is from a git snapshot, you should still provide a d/watch file, so that all the automated tools can compare the current version with upstream releases (they have made some). When I tried to build with gbp and the --pristine-tar option, the build failed because the upstream tag is different to the entry in d/changelog. It is a good idea to provide a gbp.conf file. The Debian Multimedia packaging wiki (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging) recommends at least the default option of pristine-tar being True.
