    Good day Michael, Job, Damyan, and the Debian games team,

    I think we may have a person or two familiar with Debian. I will
    bring this up with the community and see if we're can find someone
    interested in doing this.

    I know this has come up before, and we weren't sure how to proceed,
    so I think we should be able to.


I believe that I previously offered to mentor/sponsor since this game 
has been quite popular in my household. (Thanks for all the great work 
on it!) That offer is still open.

            I have taken the liberty to upgrade the package (locally) from
            0.9.8-1.2 to 0.9.16.1 and started a salsa project to track the
            changes. The result is at
            <https://salsa.debian.org/dmn/endless-sky>.
            It is not 100% ready yet, but looks quite nice. At this
            point I wonder
            how to proceed.


I haven't tried building, but that packaging looks pretty solid at first 
glance.

            Michael, would you like a co-maintainer for the Debian package?
            Perhaps even a group-maintenance under the Debian Games Team
            (cc-ed)?
            Either should help timely upgrades in Debian.


If you opt to go under the Games Team umbrella, I will be happy to help 
mentor/sponsor, as needed.

            Thanks for the great additions to the storyline :)


Yes!
