Hi,

At this point I have some doubt on "what should be moved to
math team." The borderline and the expected outcome are
not discussed in some specific cases.

In my understanding, domain-specific mathematical applications,
such as theorem prover, would be a good fit for the new team.
And this is not likely of interest by a larger range of audience.

However, as we know, mathematics is the underlying core of
many engineering and science fields. The critical mathematical
libraries such as BLAS and LAPACK should have the attention
to the whole science team, instead of limited attention of
a small team.

In brief, my personal opinion is: packages that are too important
and generic should be kept in science team as they may affect
any sub-area of science; packages are less likely used in
other sub-areas of science can be moved to smaller but dedicated
teams for better care.

The borderline should depend on the influence of a package,
and its expected usage.

This just reminds me of BLAS and LAPACK.
