Request for cmaj to be added as DD for asterisk

[Chris Maj]

Howdy!

I write from this address as a follow-up to emails some months ago about
contributing to Asterisk on Trixie. Please consider the patches applied to
my forked repo, specifically in the "trixie" branch, from where I am
sourcing for building and signing asterisk debs that work on trixie. (This
builds on previous work in my "bookworm-backports" branch.)

Big thanks to Jonas for improving the gbp build situation back in January.
My procedure was very much in line with steps in asterisk/debian/gbp.conf
-- along with a few helpers from Jonas' email reply to Martin posted around
the same time as the gbp improvements:

Futher, my "trixie" branch also resolves QA concerns regarding an old IMAP
library by removing IMAP from the Asterisk voicemail backends (leaving ODBC
and filesystem voicemail backends in-tact):

I do not believe that there are any further technical or security reasons
preventing Asterisk from being included in Trixie.

Finally, I commit to continuing to maintain the asterisk packages for the
foreseeable future -- with help from the many volunteers who've offered to
help over the past year or so on this list, as well as the upstream
developers -- and kindly request y'alls support to close Bug #1031046 (next
email :-)

Kind regards,
