FYI, I packaged and uploaded the first 2 so far, but can't push to Git.
Please set me as maintainer or owner, so I can do that.

Note that I'm doing a git based workflow, packaging upstream tags,
rather than using pristine-tar. If this bothers anyone, please let me
know (but please only complain about the workflow if you really have the
intention to contribute to the packaging, otherwise you're just getting
on my way to be efficient for no reason).

Cheers,
