I think we should create the PSC before trying to elaborate on any
development roadmap. Then, maybe check for OSGeo incubation? Does anyone
have experience with that? What's the best way to proceed and how we
determine PSC members?

I agree this is confusing and maybe the roadmap helps clear it up.
I You think about it, my proposal to PPA structure is following:
* ubuntugis-development - development versions of packages. Package
version changes until they move to 'ubuntugis-staging'
* ubuntugis-staging - staging versions which will be prepared to move
at the time of each new ubuntu distribution release to 'ubuntugis-stable'
* ubuntugis-stable - packages for all ubuntu distributions (LTS an non
LTS) which will never change versions for a particular ubuntu
distribution once released (only bugfixes available) - packages for
each new distribution will be uploaded at the time of ubuntu
distribution release
Packages will be supported for each ubuntu distribution life time.
* ubuntugis-backports - backported packages for LTS distributions. Can
be upgraded as time goes on for all distributions
Maintaining packages in 'ubuntugis-stable' for LTS distributions is
long-term, responsible and boring task. This task I see as candidate
for dedicated maintainer which could be financially supported by
companies or organizations.
I propose this structure change with release of 14.04 LTS.
