Hi!
This might be awkward, seeing a reply mail on debian-devel-announce,
but actually this response deserves to be in the broader public.

I personally like to thank all the involved people too, and could add
some messages on why they are named here, though more importantly this
reply is about one person missing, who was extremely supportive and
motivating (and at times pushing too) to get this done, and who seems to
be too humble to put himself into the list: Yes, this is about Martin.
He was one of the early adopters on <http://dsa.debian.org/> (probably
that's why he didn't mention that site - it's like this for months now
already).
And to let you know, it isn't meant to stop here, there are still
services that are not adapted yet - and even though I am very happy that
a fair amout of other sites did already pick up the new theme anyway.
This tells us that we are on the correct tracks here, and is the best
feedback one could wish for. Just to let you know, the one major site
that our Distribution has and is also directly used and visible for
endusers is not forgotten, bugs.debian.org is our next major target.
Again, thanks to everyone involved, thanks to Valessio for spacefun and
thanks to Kalle for his tiredless work over several years without even
a proper feedback for the first years. That's the kind of long-time
contribution we are looking for in the project, and I'm quite confident
that it will pay off soonish.
Thanks to everyone who spends so much time on the website, the
translations of it or Debian in general. You can see this as a promise
that the Website Team "ain't dead" and that big things are possible to
get changed, even though it might look like an impossible task.
Enjoy the new release, enjoy the new artwork, enjoy the new design.
Rhonda
