No worries. Have limited bandwidth myself at the moment due to
unforeseen occurrences.

Agreed.

I can kinda see that, but I don't want to do this for util-linux,
and then I'm not seeing the extra value.

In general for Debian I'd like to see more things move into the
debian/ namespace. If people introduce crap -because- of that, then
so be it. They can already (NM)U the packages anyway. I'd rather
take the extra drive-by help.

Using the mailing list would seem like it makes the most sense?
Teams on tracker.d.o are a bit meh at the moment, given tracker
still uses sso.d.o for managing them.
I have no clue how to reconcile the mailing list and the
<package>@packages.d.o alias however. Open to ideas.

Best,
Chris
