Hmm, I fell out of there some time ago - will try to find my way back
in, for a more casual chitchat: I love chat as a less formal and more
social platform, but still prefer this list as the more "stable"
communication channel for our team.

I don't know your skill set or interests, but a high-profile package
that need some love is coturn:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/coturn

I also suggest to change the Maintainer: field for coturn to match the
address we generally use for our packages:

  Debian VoIP Team <pkg-voip-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>

In principle the address used for coturn package is the correct one -
Alioth is gone and the hostname we now generally use is deprecated - but
better switch the address for all packages at once, and until we do that
be consistently "wrong" to minimize the risk of "loosing" a package as
has now happened for coturn (at least for me personally).

I have not worked much on coturn myself, so if you run into problems
with it then I will likely be slow at helping out.

Another concrete but larger challenge, if you like, is to upgrade
baresip and its libraries rem and libre.  Those packages I know
intimately and can more easily guide you as needed - but also they might
be more tricky to handle (which is the reason I have postponed that work
for long) because they use plain make and involve extensive patching to
support cross-compilation in Debian.
