You probably need to fork this project (e.g. into your own namespace [1])
and push your changes there. Then issue the merge-request with the address
created from

https://salsa.debian.org/salsa/AliothRewriter/merge_requests

Otherwise you mail a patch, but there is no source (and no branch
"debichem") to merge from.
