Definitely. Applied and pushed. Thanks for the contribution!

Yeah, because we put it in collab-maint to encourage contribution by
other DDs. Back then it was a decision between hoping for easy
contributions from either DDs or to allow easy intergrating non-DD
contributors. (ft got collab-maint commit permissions, so he didn't
count back then.) As far as I can see we only have two (non-upstream)
commits in our git repo which are not from DDs. And IIRC all
non-team-member commits were actually imported via "git am" or similar
despite the repo is under collab-maint.

So I wonder if we should move the git repository from collab-maint to
pkg-zsh to easily allow Daniel commit access.

Anyone against it?

I'd say if I don't hear any arguments against that move until Monday
next week, I'd do that move next week or so.

And since we already have a symlink to access
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/zsh.git also via
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-zsh/zsh.git, I'd update the Vcs-*
headers already with the next upload, i.e. now in Git.
