I learned a fair amount about reprepro today.
It's been 15 years since someone requested the feature to have multiple versions of a package in their repo.
Patches to implement that feature arrived more than 10 years ago.
I believe it was in an official release 6 years ago.
It's still not in Debian stable, testing, nor sid. It is available in the EXPERIMENTAL repo and it worked great. Just can't seem to get the new version into testing, sadly.
It mirrors (ha, pun intended!) my experience with trying to get a patchlevel bug fix into pamu2f. I spent a year submitting pull requests, following up on the tickets and pull request, tracking down people and emailinb them, finding people on IRC, trying to get a mentor so I could become a volunteer contributor... and in the end all that work died on the vine.
Eventually someone got a minor version update and put it into testing directly. That's the power of having an @debian.org email address. If you don't have that, you can't really contribute to the project.
