Introduction

Hi,

my Name is Andreas Vögele. I'm VOEGELAS on CPAN and voegelas on Salsa.

I'd like to package my Perl module IP::Geolocation::MMDB and its 
prerequisite Alien::libmaxminddb.

While Alien::libmaxminddb depends on Alien::Build and its dependencies, 
the built IP::Geolocation::MMDB module does only depend on libmaxminddb 
and modules that are distributed with Perl.

Once the modules are available as packages, I'd like to get support for 
IP::Geolocation::MMDB into SpamAssassin as an alternative to the 
deprecated MaxMind::DB::Reader module.

Both modules are stable and are only updated if Perl or libmaxminddb 
require changes.

I build Debian packages at 
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:voegelas/perl-IP-Geolocation-MMDB 
and I maintain Fedora packages.

Right now, I'm reading documents from 
https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/, but I'm not sure where to begin.  
Should I create an RFP and wait for approval or rejection? Should I ask 
to become a member of the Debian Perl Group?

I'm familiar with Perl, C and packaging and could work on packages with 
bugs or maybe lintian.

Kind regards,
Andreas
