Thanks a lot for handling the source import and related tasks, Jukka!
I'll look after the website later this week.

Makes sense. How far did the ICLA collection effort go already? Just the
main committers or also the authors of any non-trivial contribution in
the past? I think that's a prerequisite to a first release, isn't it?

I would do the package rename as soon as possible. Since the project
goes through a major change right now, the package change together with
the switch to 0.8.x makes sense to me. It also emphasizes the move to
the ASF. But that's just me.
