Yes. Welcome! Thank you for helping to make Debian better! I have<br>
added you to the Salsa team. I think that gives you enough permission<br>
to move your projects with Settings &gt; General &gt; Transfer project.<br>
<br>
GNOME Core and GNOME Circle apps and libraries should be in the<br>
regular Debian GNOME team, while other apps and libraries for GNOME<br>
are handled in the Extras subteam.<br>

/a> .<br>
In particular, we use a DEP-14 style layout with git-buildpackage.<br>
That means the default branch is debian/latest and there is also an<br>
upstream/latest branch.<br>
<br>
Converting the upstream branch is a little complicated. Basically it<br>
requires first renaming upstream to a temporary branch and then<br>
renaming the temporary branch to upstream/latest since git won&#39;t allow<=
br>
branches named upstream &amp; upstream/latest to exist simultaneously.<br>
This also means that it is probably easiest for people who have a<br>
