Cool! If you like, put me as the mandatory second uploader.

Since it's on github, a release tag would be sufficient to make the
watch file work:

   https://wiki.debian.org/debian/watch/


Damien, could you tag your "release" with some kind of version number,
let's say 0.1?

The resulting tarball from github would be almost empty (it won't
contain the checked out submodules), but at least the bots will
automatically detect a new upstream version and inform you about it.

Importing the tarball isn't harder than ardour, I manually export from
upstream's git repo each and every time. A script could be handy. ;)


Final note: Though it's a bit of work, maybe consolidating everything
into a single repo with appropriate subdirs (essentially what the
super-repo does right now) might be beneficial.



Cheers
