Invitation to join the Debian Multimedia Maintainers team

[Jeremy Salwen]

A little confused.  I do upstream development and debian packagin in the
same git repository.  I have the upstream branch which I work on and
occasionally tag, and I have the master branch, in which I keep the debian
packaging and merge in upstream versions. I then update the changelog and
tag the commit. I thought this was supposed to be the layout of debian
packages in git.

If you're asking me to remove the debian directories from the upstream
branch, no need, there is no debian directory in the upstream branch.

If you're asking me to remove the debian branch, that makes more sense, but
I don't quite get why.   I need somewhere to backup my packaging work, and I
don't think I have write access to the git repositories you set up.

Also, I'm not sure if:
1. upstream work is allowed in the pkg-multimedia repository
2. intermediate packaging work is allowed in the pkg-multimedia repository
3. it would be okay to have the github and pkg-multimedia repositories sync
up. (or at least  share commits).
4. Am I supposed to have write access to these repositories, or is that
reserved for DDs?

Thanks
Jeremy
