Commit notices should go to debian-tetex-maint -- where else would be
sensible? Having another list just doesn't make sense.
Rule for working on a shared CVS: always do a cvs update before
starting and a cvs commit when done! Saves a lot of hassle. And in
our situation, one should always note what one has done in the
changelog and probably use that for the commit message.
