Hi Olivier,
yes, please take the lead if you feel so. Given that you maintain gbrowse, it
makes a lot of sense.
We can commit the next upstream version in an experimental branch of the
Git repository of the bioperl source package. Then either we upload, or
the developers build the package themselves and test it.
To test the reverse dependancies, since most of them execute their regression
tests at build time, we can for instance install bioperl in a chroot,
and rebuild all of them. This may be eased by pbuilder or schroot.
