Just a small point: for Python specific packages, the debian-python mailing list is probably better than the general mentors list. Other teams may also have more specific lists that can help you too, so you should look up whatever's relevant for your interests. On a more general note, while I agree that it's preferable to get packages into Ubuntu by way of Debian, it's important to recognize that the two distros have very different workflows, schedules, tools, and cultures. Both work very well when you're mainly concentrating on one distro or the other, but there are still a lot of rough spots when crossing over between the two. It's true that Ubuntu benefits greatly from the work done in Debian, and I think it would be valuable to find ways for Debian to benefit more from the work done in Ubuntu. Somehow it just seems there should be better ways to share bugs, branches, reputation, reviews, and experience.
