You can follow the work-in-progress by watching the official repos at
git.debian.org/pkg-mysql and by looking at Robies personal dev branch
at https://git.launchpad.net/~racb/ubuntu/+source/mariadb-10.0/log/

You have push access to git.debian.org/pkg-mysql, so if you are
certain you've done a good job, please push so others can build upon
that and avoid duplicate work / unnecessary merges.
