<div name="quoted-content">Hello Eric!<br/>
<br/>
As you have previously submitted at least one improvement to the MariaDB<br/>
packaging in Debian, I wanted to notify you that MariaDB 10.11 has entered<br/>
Debian[1].<br/>
<br/>
I would be very glad if you have something to contribute again :)<br/>
<br/>
It is a big package and more rewarding work if there are several contributors.<br/>
<br/>
Contributing right now would be a good timing to help Debian Bookworm and Ubuntu<br/>
Lunar.<br/>
<br/>
You could look at the current open bugs[2] in Debian (or Ubuntu) and help by<br/>
triaging/commenting them or taking one up and submit a Merge Request to fix it.<br/>
There are many issues from low-hanging config tweaks to harder build/test issues<br/>
on less common architectures.<br/>
<br/>
Naturally you could also simply look at the current packaging and give feedback,<br/>
or look at what Debian QA systems say about the package or chime in on the<br/>
already open Merge Requests[3] to help others land the most optimal improvement.<br/>
