Hangon hangon hangon... Git is not SVN. The current projects I see use  
a very very flat directory structure.

The current structure in /git/debian-edu is:

  /git/debian-edu/<package-name>.git

for packages. For upstream projects there is a subfolder, indeed:

  /git/debian-edu/upstream/<upstream-project>.git

The point with SVN is that you just have one big repo, but with Git  
every software project / package has its own repo and the developer  
can sort those repos on his local system as he/she wants. So no need  
to setup an artificial structure on the central Git sharing point  
(git.debian.org).

Let's keep things flat on /git/debian-edu would be my vote.

Any of the above fits well. The question is where these packages are  
more likely to be maintained (-edu or -science).

For Debian Edu, please use

  debian-edu-pkg-team@lists.alioth.debian.org

This sub-project (for packaging -edu related software for Debian) has  
its extra mailing list where all those upload messages and bug reports  
go to. This is for keeping the ftpmaster+BTS traffic off the  
debian-edu@lists.debian.org ML.

Greets,
Mike
