The result for llvmlite looks good. Would be great to have that package (like others) in
git on salsa. In the workflow of the DPMT conversion to git there were ready converted
temporary git repos somewhere to check them over and to move them into place by the
maintainer (salsa import works fine). For that, would be great if also pristine-tar and
upstream branches could be provided, is that possible?

Thus: great, please proceed.
