The Rust team require all their packages be maintained in one giant git.
I disagree with that approach and am far more comfortable with
maintaining packages as one git per upstream project - as I do with the
other 500+ packages I maintain (which includes packages I maintain in
the Haskell team which has a similar approach but only by default: They
are open to some packages being maintained differently).

They also don't use Debbugs - but hopefully that's a thing of the past:
Recently at least one team member actively responds to bugs I file (but
there are still RC bugs hanging for *years* with zero response from the
team).

Oh, and their odd packaging style also means you may upset them if you
do a source-full NMU, seemingly because they need the source tarball to
fit exactly their custom setup (i.e. *not* a Github release but what is
distributed at crates.io).

If you decide to maintain Rust packages outside of the Rust team as
well, then I would be happy to form another team if that might be
interesting.  Otherwise you might want to consider reusing my fork of
dh-cargo which I adapted to behave more like general debhelper snippets,
less hardcoding of how the Rust team does packaging.

...Or if my whining here didn't scare you, then join the Rust team! :-)

Thanks for asking,

 - Jonas

  nom-bibtex is a feature complete *BibTeX* parser using nom.
  It can parse the four differents types of entries
  listed in the BibTeX format description:
   * Preambles which allows to call *LaTeX* command inside your *BibTeX*.
   * Strings which defines abbreviations in a key-value format.
   * Comments.

This package is needed by zola (bug#976052).

Thanks for your work, Jonas. I was just curious to know if there is a reason
that you are not maintaining it in the rust-team itself (given that there is a 
team)?
BTW, I am not (actively) a part of the team, myself - I might package 
$something rust in near future and
hence the question.
