[debian-mysql] Request for help testing/finalizing mariadb-10.4 packaging in Debian

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hello!

I've just uploaded mariadb-10.4_10.4.12-1~exp2 and in about a week I
plan to upload mariadb-10.4 to unstable.
Request for help in reviewing / finalizing this is still open and the
tips below apply :)

Thanks to Bastian and Christian for their MRs at
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.4/-/merge_requests !
