Well, what im saying here is. I have a hard time still understanding/working
with git. Like for you guys a "simple" thing as "rebase patches", is 
for me a "scratching my head" .. Working on it, but that takes some time.
I wish i was already better with it, but its a lack of time i had last year(s). 

gbp pq.. Thats one ill look into. 
Already found some good info on howto use it.

The help part, i can do that, i can prepair as much as possible and 
import them into salsa. Only, im not a coder, i cant do big changes. 
I rely on the samba devs/coders and currenlty the changes done
by the debian maintainers.

This is one, i cant do yet, that's, for now, over my head. 

I'll try make a MR today for samba 4.15. 


So far, 

Greetz,
