RFS: polyphone (soundfont editor)

[Davy Triponney]

Dear Mira, dear maintainers,

Thank you for your answer. It's been a couple of years I'm using Debian and
I'm very interested in the project. Being maintainer sounds thus good, what
is the process for that?

What will I have to do? I could package Polyphone and also the sfArkLib in
a first step (it has been asked in the review of my package). Then, I'm a
user of the great software jOrgan, which has an RFP (
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666164). I could try to
package it as well.

How much packages am I supposed to maintain?

And I understand that each maintainer is volonteer and that we should
"bother" them as less as possible, but as I'm quite a newbie I'm likely to
have some questions. Where can I get some help if I need? What happened if
I maintain a package and that I can't find a solution for a problem?

Regards,
Davy
