I granted you maintainer permissions on

   https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/pythonqt/

I also did the usual upgrading polishing work where I developed
quite some routine and which would have costed you much work.

Please inspect the patches in debian/patches.  I deactivated these all
by renaming series to _series.  Please inspect every single one whether
it can be removed or should be adapted.  I did not looked at these files
at all!

The package now needs adaption from Qt5 to Qt6 (does not build as is).
Please do so and ping me.  I can happily do the sponsoring work.

Hope this helps
    Andreas.
