There is a new upstream release of twinkle; if you like, I think
it would be a good opportunity for you to package the new version,
besides adding yourself to Uploaders.

Are you familiar with gbp? Note the config file debian/gbp.conf that
causes `gbp import-orig` to automatically commit a pristine-tar delta.

For the changelog, I prefer to update it separately right before the
upload, which you can do using `gbp commit --release --commit`.

On a nitpicky note, please run `wrap-and-sort` when changing
debian/control, e.g., after adding yourself to Uploaders.

Let me know and I can review and upload. Welcome aboard!

Regards,
Peter

The twinkle package is maintained under the umbrella of the pkg-voip team.

To be able to push to the git repository [1], you need to request to
join the pkg-voip team on alioth [2] (follow link at bottom right).

[1] ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-voip/twinkle.git
[2] https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-voip/

You should also subscribe to the pkg-voip-maintainers list [3] to
receive bug reports and other notifications for the twinkle package.

[3] https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-voip-maintainers

Since you are a Debian Maintainer, could you ask a Debian Developer
to grant you upload permissions [4] for the twinkle package? Then
you could upload for the both of us without requesting sponsorship
each time.

[4] https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer#Granting_Permissions

Please feel free to follow up on the pkg-voip-maintainers list with
any questions regarding the maintenance of the twinkle package. I plan
to push a new upstream git snapshot soon for the transition to Qt 5.6 [5].

Dear Peter,

I tried to add myself to Uploaders for twinkle as previously discussed
but the git repo would not let me make any changes.  What do I need to
do?

Regards

Rolf
