It is a good idea to use collab-maint as all Debian Developers have
access by default and can easily step in to help out when required, and
you can agree with others to co-maintain the package with you in case
you get busy etc.
You can read about collab-maint here:
https://wiki.debian.org/CollaborativeMaintenance
You will need your sponsor to write an email to allow the Alioth team to
approve your request to set up the repository. Details on the process
are here:
