(answering a private message by Guillem) BTW, I suggest we move all the discussions to debian-dpkg now that Scott announced the transition publicly. This will avoid a possible "cabal" effect, imho. PS: I wasn't aware of an existing dpkg Alioth project but it seems to make sense to use it, yes. It is currently owned by wiggy (Wichert Akkerman) and doogie (Adam Heath) so we'd need to ask them about this....
