upstream contact for Debian

[nbehrnd]

During the update to version 0.18.0, syntax checker markdownlint now includes
uri as a dependency (rubygems' entry). An update of the version packaged
to Debian (tracker page) is not yet possible, in part because uri is not
yet part of the Debian ecosystem.

I would like to close this gap by provision of the package under the name of
ruby-uri. As part of attributing copyright, Debian's file d/copyright
includes the note of an upstream contact. As an illustration, ruby-mdl uses

Upstream-Contact: ["phil@ipom.com"]

though prefers the pattern to provide both a name and an email address (salsa,
Debian wiki about assigning copyright).

Because the uri project does not discern between contributors and maintainers,
I would like to ask who of you would like to wear this hat?

Best regards,

Norwid Behrnd

@hsbt You are in charge for the uploads of uri to rubygems.org. Would you be willing to
serve as upstream contact for the perspective ruby-uri package on Linux Debian, e.g.

Upstream-Contact: Hiroshi SHIBATA ["hsbt@ruby-lang.org"]

while -- similar to mdl packaged in Debian as ruby-mdl -- the .deb would indicate
https://github.com/ruby/uri/issues as address to file bug reports about uri?
