Hi again,
I see
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/zephyr
in a releasable state. I wonder whether you intend to do some changes
or whether you are OK if I do a team upload. For the moment was running
$ tagpending
tagpending info: tagging these bugs pending: 1101738 1030080 1029195 1049994 759885 1098197 1039433
and I'll wait for your confirmation another week.
Kind regards
Andreas.
