  1. Thank you for properly filing the ITA bug. However, there are underlying issues. VCS isn't showing the changes because you're not making them directly in the original repository. I recommend you write to the mentors list requesting maintainer access to the apachetop repository:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/apachetop

Say you've just adopted the package and need to upload a new version. To do so, add the link to the ITA bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/1098915

There's still a lot more to do, but one thing at a time... You haven't correctly filled out the RFS request, which is required for reviewers to write recommendations.

  2. Okay, so this is easier to understand: the apachetop package is already in Debian and is hosted in the "debian" namespace reserved for Debian Developers (DDs). The changes you're going to make need to be made directly in that repository, not in another. To do so, you must ask a DD for permission to grant you access to the repository as a maintainer.

Write to the mentor list requesting access to the repository, something like this:

Subject: apachetop repository access
Message body:

I recently adopted apachetop (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1098915). Could a DD grant me access as a maintainer to this repository, since I need to push a new version?

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/apachetop

Once you have access to that repository, you should make changes directly there or first make changes in a fork and, after testing them, move them to the main repository via a MR.

I must make it clear that this is a huge responsibility. Just because the package has been put up for adoption doesn't mean it's less important or that no one uses it anymore. The previous maintainer made it clear that the package is in good shape, and this should remain the case over time. Debian's primary rule is to guarantee high-quality packages.

  3. As Soren mentioned you should wait to have your Salsa account active to move forward with this... I will be mentoring your work on apachetop until a new version is pushed to Debian, I will also be keeping an eye on changes applied to the apachetop repository in Salsa.

You can reply here to ask for assistance until your RFS bug is ready.

  4. Thank you very much for your guidance, Manuel.

I'll wait for my Salsa account to be approved before proceeding. Once I have access, I’ll prepare a consolidated version (-4) directly in the official repository and update the RFS accordingly.

I appreciate your support in mentoring this package.

Best regards,
