Ahh, so I misinterpreted your attempt - I assumed you wanted to keep
copied of package descriptions there. You are perfectly right - using
existing infrastructure at debian.org is very reasonable.

You do seem to assume that there is any interest in discussing. My
experience is different - so far there was no discussion and no need to
find some consensus because there was no controverse discussion.

this.

As I said: If there is no controversal discussion trying to reach a
consensus is void.

This would be really great.
Kind regards and thanks for your comments
