- open an ITP bug (using reportbug wnpp)
- ensure license and copyright are correct in debian/copyright - this
project is small, so it'll be quick
- use git-buildpackage to prepare a git repository holding the debian
maintenance work
file:///usr/share/doc/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.import.fromscratch.html
- through gitlab, ask access to https://salsa.debian.org/nginx-team and ask
which "project" name you want to create
- upload the repository there
- ask for a sponsor - either open a RFS bug, or ask nginx team, so several
maintainers can have a look.

One important point is make sure the software test suite is enabled, or at
least the module pass basic integration tests,
see debian/tests in the original project you used.
