I want to add more long licenss text to this package.

I think about the CC licenses which are DFSG conform and the AGPL-3.

More licenses can follow.

I prepare it under https://salsa.debian.org/mechtilde/base-files/.
I miss the possibility to create a Merge Request.

What's your preferred way for such patches?

reassign 1134940 debian-policy
thanks

This is documented in base-files FAQ.
I do not decide about such things. Debian Policy does.

Thanks.

That's respectively #795402 and #884223. Some of the other licenses
you think of may also have their own open bug reports.
