+1 from me.  We are already maintaining our packages in a (private)
subversion repository which we could (and should) move to Alioth.  Of
course it's a good idea to have a bigger team, since I am an
unofficial Debian maintainer, and sometimes Alexander doesn't have
enough time to sponsor my package uploads, leading to unnecessary
delays.
