Was there a previous git repo for f2fs-tools on Alioth?  I didn't base
my last upload of f2fs to stretch-backports (just started with the
tree from "apt-get source f2fs-tools"), but if you want me to move it
to Salsa, it would probably be a good idea to preserve the git repo
(if any) you were of the Debian packaging.  Unfortunately I can't seem
to find where the Alioth backups of the repos that were stored there
can be found, and while I can try to ask for them, if you have a local
git repo that you can push up to github or gitlab, that would be
great.

Otherwise I can just start a new git repo --- I already have
f2fs-tools v1.11.0 already packaged up for {kvm,gce,android}-xfstests,
and it was a desire to allow others to reproduce the VM image
completely from sources and debian snapshots w/o having to manually
compile f2fs-tools which is why I've been interested in keeping
f2fs-tools updated in stable backports.

So as far as co-maintenance, I'm happy to help, although I don't
actually do much with f2fs myself (other as part of the kernel file
systems regression testing).

Cheers,
