It provides things like webspace, git and Subversion repositories, extra mailing lists, etc. in a similar way to sites like SourceForge does. > As I am upstream of a couple of packages in Debian, is there any > advantage/need to have an Alioth account? The primary reason I can see for having an account would be to have commit access to the package source repositories. If it is useful for you to make commits to the sources for packages you're upstream for, then an account would be useful to you. If not, there is anonymous read-only access to the git and Subversion repositories available and you can use that. Currently, package sources are spread over a number of locations and one of my aims in setting up the Alioth project is to get all the team package sources into one location.
