Tout va bien, j'espère que de ton côté aussi :)

+Cc the DebianOnMobile maintainers list

As far as I'm concerned this sounds just fine, although I'll let other 
team members raise their concerns if they have any.
Unless there is any objection, I'll create/copy/move the repo under the 
DebianOnMobile-team namespace and grant developer access to the relevant 
people.

For this to happen please provide the following information:
- current Salsa repository (if any)
- Salsa usernames of the expected maintainers

You should also expect that I (or other team members) will be overseeing 
the package updates initially, in order to provide guidance and ensure 
this package adheres to the "guidelines" we use within the team. Sadly I 
don't think we have a formal list of those packaging practice, but you 
can start by having a look at other team-maintained packages and Mobian 
recommendations: https://wiki.debian.org/Mobian/Contribute#Packaging 
(TL;DR use git-buildpackage and salsa-ci, ensuring all tests are green 
before merging/releasing).

Cheers,
Arnaud
