LyX is collaboratively maintained in the pkg-lyx Alioth project. It is currently maintained by SvenHoexter, PerOlofsson and GeorgBaum. LyX is collaboratively maintained on salsa.debian.org.
It's currently maintained with the git-buildpackage toolchain in conjunction with pristine-tar and tarball imports, thus still disconnected
from the upstream git repository.
