Great. So with both you and Antonio OK with the idea, I think we can proceed (see below for a follow-up on collab-maint). And next action is probably on me, to "import" the current DEP8 spec to the debian-policy repo. Two questions for the debian-policy people: 1) are there strict requirements on the markup used? I speak docbook, so I can convert to that if needed. But if that is not a requirement, also keeping something simpler (e.g., markdown) would be nice. It'd also address Martin's concern about the markup. 2) should I send a patch against the debian-policy package, or would you prefer to give me commit access and I should just go ahead, informing this list when it's done (for review and the like)? > I'd be equally happy to move the autopkgtest git to collab-maint, so > that interested parties can edit it there, if that's any easier.

I'm a big fan of *code* maintenance collab-main, and I do encourage the active autopkgtest hackers to move the code there. But I think it's a bad idea to have *spec* maintained in a very open/collaborative place --- again, I think DEP5 has taught us a thing or two about that.

Let's see what's debian-policy people answer on this.
