OK. Thanks for the clarification. >Sadly, the decommission of Alioth has apparently not taken that change >into account. We are discussing it on the ‘debian-devel’ forum, but >without a solution so far. Since it's still under discussion, I'm thinking about filling the Vcs-* fields for bash-completion to salsa.debian.org. Once a solution is reached and anonscm.debian.org points to the new server, I can make new changes to the Vcs-* fields. I understand that this solution only works for me, because I only maintain a couple of packages. Does it sound good to you? >> I just noticed that alioth's replacement, salsa.debian.org, is up. >> So maybe I should move this repository, now. > >Yes, that seems to be a good idea.

I have it set up on my personal workspace [1], however, as mentioned by Sergio [2], I should ask a DD to move this repository to the "Debian" group. Actually, I have two question about this move: 1. Where do I ask for the help of a DD? (debian devel? mentors?) 2. Even though I read the discussions about salsa on debian-devel, I still do not know how to name the repository. When browsing the projects under the Debian group, I got the impression that the project name is usually the same name as the package itself. So, in bash-completion's case, I should probably ask for the "-debian" suffix to be removed from the project name.
