Sorry for the delay.

I just invited you to be a maintainer in the
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-netfilter-team/pkg-xtables-addons repository.

Ping me if you find you don't have permissions for something.

Once you are happy with the package code, feel free to push the code to the
pkg-netfilter-team repo and start using in from that moment onwards.

All links in files in the debian/ dir should point to this pkg-netfilter-team
repo (i.e, VCS-* etc). Please also use the common maintainer address like in any
other package in the team.

Unrelated to your package, we would eventually need to move to a more modern
approach for the Maintainer: address, probably using the tracker.d.o address. I
didn't pay enough attention to this and I'm not sure what is the right path.

regards.
