It would be nice adding some extrepo entries for the main Qgis archive, which is available since
a long time and a lot of releases, to integrate the Qgis version we distribute in main.

The QGIS archive distributes both LTS and latest versions and even a
nightly version for multiple distribution including testing/sid.

Possible minimal entries for the Yaml index could be

Hi there,

(Sorry for the late reply, I have been somewhat inactive recently.)

Happy to add that, but the information you provide is not sufficient to
be able to do so.

To request additions to the metadata, please open a merge request
against the repository at
https://salsa.debian.org/extrepo-team/extrepo-data

The file "template.yaml" at the root of the git repository shows the
expected format for the file (which is not the processed format that you
provide in this bug report).

You'll add that to the source format; I would also appreciate follow-up
MRs when the key is rotated or its expiry time is updated, so that we
don't have to do this :)

(the advantage of an MR at the repository is also that there are more
people looking at that than the BTS, so you're more likely to get
feedback and for the repository to be added that way)
