I agree with it, but i guess that it needs rules.

Forks aren't subprojects.
"Projects which add packages or features for packages that already exists or
some sort of experimental infrastructure", these are IMHO good for Debian
subprojects.Debian Jr., Mono, ipv6 and ddtp are covered by this description,

Yes, you're the leader of this subproject but IMHO you need be a developer to
start/maintain a new subproject and follow (obviously) the DFSG and the
decisions of the entire project.I'm just trying start some points to be included
in the "Debian subproject guidelines".
