Researching your question, I was surprised to learn that there is now a=20
package page for the latest "stable" release of the OS.=C2=A0 The one nam=
e on=20
that page is Hugo Lefeuvre; it contains a link to his email. =C2=A0 Under=
=20
"External Resources" is a link to /_your_/ Github page, so this would=20
seem to be a good fit for you.

https://packages.debian.org/buster/spambayes

Debian had been far behind, and I was using the directions for=20
python-stdeb ( https://pypi.org/project/stdeb/ ) to build my own=20
packages from the archives that you had created. It looks like Debian=20
has caught up in that regard, but their package for "Buster" still=20
requires python2; i.e. no python3 development.=C2=A0 I use the next relea=
se,=20
"Bullseye", and python2 packages are being removed at every turn.

Debian packaging wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian

I hope this is the information for which you were looking.=C2=A0 Anything=
 you=20
can do to help would be great.

Thanks,
