Hi, I finally worked down the list of tasks maintained by people in Debian Science team (hmmm, I would have hoped for more help specifically after trying to explain in very detail what is expected from the maintainers of Debian Science packages). There is one exception: I filed a request of removal bug for cpushare (#735529).
I'm now trying to finalise the debian-science source package. Please if you would have a look at http://blends.debian.org/science/tasks/ to verify that all these things will make sense this would be very much appreciated. Kind regards Andreas.
