 That is excellent news. Signal is useful, but also infuriating because 
 most of the normal advantages of free software are not in practice 
 available due to OWS policies (not letting other builds connect to 
 their servers (so no f-droid version), only providing x86 binaries, 
 making you download new ones every month or two otherwise it stops 
 working, have to use the android/iOS version every 3 weeks otherwise 
 the desktop version stops working etc). 
  
 Molly solves the f-droid problem, but the 'no arm64 builds' thing has 
 been a huge PITA for the last year (and caused me to rant at people 
 that want to use signal rather than matrix, which doesn't sufer from 
 any of the above issues). A debian package that actually built from 
 source would be a massive boon (assuming that OWS will actually let it 
 connect - do they?). 
  
 So yes please, don't abandon the ITP. 
  
 This issue of software that requires a very high update frequency is 
 probably only going to increase, given current development trends. So 
 fasttrack.debian.net or something like it probably does need to get 
 better-integrated/officialised.
