Hi from a long time Debian Games lurker. I've been sitting here
wondering if it could be turned into a how-to moment for aspiring
Developers who are nervous about taking a first step toward
contributions. Maybe write up a step-by-step "how I spent my days
developing this" kind of thing that ultimately points toward the
package's inclusion in the repositories...

Maybe... :)

Just thinking out loud..
