I don't think you're introducing confusion, merely highlighting that which
exists. I think the truth is that there are two lists, this, normally rather
sleepy one and the lively AGNULA user forum <users@lists.agnula.org>. We
could draw a venn diagram of the membership. Our 'multimedia taskforce' is
probably a further subselection around the crossover point. You can translate
that as 'us' if you want. ;D
The majority of DDs who maintain multimedia packages probably don't consider
themselves part of DeMuDi as such, although there is no reason why they
should not. I have the impression that AGNULA is to DeMuDi what Progeny is to
Debian, but I stand to be corrected on that.

Yes, I have already tried to correct this without success. Does anybody know
who the correct person to contact about Debian website listings is. (Or the
best way to find out, even?). AGNULA/DeMuDi is listed on the CDD page itself,
however.
