Since you're not Debian developer (yet ? 😉), it's customary to guest a login 
ending with -guest.

I've accepted too fast your request as timotimo and then removed it. Please 
send a new request as timotimo-guest.

Will do as soon as the login names are fine.

Sure, I will send you links. For instance, there's a lot of 'debian/
README.source' files in the repo so this should get you started.

E.g. https://salsa.debian.org/perl6-team/moarvm/-/blob/master/debian/
README.source.org?ref_type=heads

I prefer mail, I often miss IRC notifications.

That would be great, I would hate to see all my work forgotten.
