Good luck with this.

It is perfectly fine for me in any SVN. I was just confused by having a
package maintained by DebiChem in our archive. Nothing more. I think
there is no sense in competing about package maintenance and the main
maintainer should draw a reasonable decision which repository fits best.
If there is a strong reason to have a package maintained by a different
team in our repository this should be documented in some proper readme
file. For the moment I would think something like:
This packaging stuff will be moved to DebiChem SVN with next
release.
or something like this would clarify things IMHO:

Thanks for your work on this
