Hi Roland,

I'm happy you found the time to work on this :)

I had a quick look at your work:

@ https://mentors.debian.net/package/mutt-ical/ :

– Package has lintian warnings: mutt-ical source
    W missing-debian-watch-file-standard
        [debian/watch]
    W recommended-field
        (in section for source) Priority [debian/control:1]
    P hyphen-in-upstream-part-of-debian-changelog-version
        2.0.2-20240916-g7c795ee1fd74 [debian/changelog:1]

It has, in d/control:

 Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/rohieb/mutt-ical.git

Maybe that could better be https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ (so that
cooperation would be easier) or https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages
(after an ACK from the Python team, and after consulting the Team's policy
document at https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ ; I
believe having [email protected] as Maintainer would require
that.)

(Also: https://salsa.debian.org/rohieb/mutt-ical/-/pipelines : "This project is
not currently set up to run pipelines."  Hrm, but upstream doesn't seem to ship
any test infrastructure, so I guess that would be non-trivial...)

Anyway: Once your package is lintian-clean I'd be happy to upload it.

HTH!

Bye,

Joost
