There was me involved there :-)

Yes. that's why I agreed with Andreas months ago -- new contributors think that
pkg-grass is for GRASS only, which is bad.

Francesco, can we ping listmasters even more, or do you have any objection?

I propose: debian-gis@lists.debian.org and debian-gis-commits@l.d.o .
Obviously, we'll need to keep the "old" address for some time, just the time to
change debian/control fields. Maybe a mail alias on Alioth could be created?

Have a nice day,
David
