To be honest, I view respawning lintian.d.o as a waste of time.

But, and I'm already regretting this, I'm okay respawning a VM anyway,
*after* we've handled our ganeti cluster migration, if none of my DSA
teammates have a strong objection.

I'm okay putting an apache2 config and a static website based on
Nicolas' (I think it was him?) work.

BUT: I need at least two DDs committing to maintain the info up-to-date
as I do not intend to do it.

If the data becomes more than six months old, I'd consider this a good
argument in favour of wiping the VM and getting rid of lintian.d.o for
good.

Otherwise, I'm also okay adding a CNAME from lintian.d.o to a web
redirector that points to the wiki page Lucas provided.

Bests,
