Hello guys, sorry for the delay on the answer - I checked Freshmeat out but i found many packages references out of date.
- About the emails not being uniform (and even not being available), yeah that's true and i am aware of it and considered something to be worked around. - Checking the AL tree is a nice one, or even check other distro's with larger team but then i would have to choose carefully which one to bind my pkgbuilds. So what is our stability policy compared to debian or ubuntu-lts (could mention centos and opensuse as well)?
