Erm, seeing how many collab-maint are visible on http://git.debian.org/ I guess collab-maint now has at least git repos...

I have some doubts about collab-maint though: Maintenance is unlikely to be collaborative, and I'm not in NM, which pretty much takes care of the point of collab-maint as outlined on the wiki [1]. If the package has an upstream and all that is being maintained on alioth is the packaging aspect then the simplest approach is to put things under collab-maint even if it is not being maintained collaboratively. The point is that it becomes easier: - to find co-maintainers if it becomes necessary - for people to offer patches - if the package is orphaned it is easier to take over - for upstream to figure out what you are doing to their package. Also, I'm not sure how readily private hg/git sub-directories are granted to non-DDs. If the package is in Debian or is soon going to be then you should give it a try. I've found the people at alioth quite helpful! Regards, Kapil. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
