Well, if we put them in alioth, but mark them as for use by you only or
something such, the history is not lost if you crash your disk or
something such, and it is easier for someone to take over your package
later on, in case you orphan it for whatever reasons.
Also, maybe his 'all' meant all ocaml packages that we are going to put
in the alioth project.

Sure, but again, maybe there can be benefit for even the packages you
maintain alone.

Me too, and from what i heard, it seem more adapted to what we want to
do.

or pkg-ocaml-umbrella or even pkg-ocaml-maintainer-umbrella ?
If anything, i would vote for using the full name maintainer instead of
maint.
