Hi there!
Please Cc: me, I am not subscribed to the list.
NB, I think everyone involved with foo2zjs already knew my position, so
this is why I decided to reply so late: better to repeat it to avoid
any confusion ;-)

As I stated back in the past, I do not, as the only printer I have that
used foo2zjs (an HP Color LaserJet 1500L) is now broken.
Michael, Steffen: do you mind giving me (or Didier) admin rights to the
Alioth project and mailing lists, so we can "close" them redirecting
everything to the Debian Printing team?

Please go on. Then, for the actual Git repository, I completely leave
it to you. I was thinking to try to migrate each upstream version to
its own Git branch, but AFAIK this is not possible, so I do not care
anymore.
Thank you for stepping up in maintenance!
Thx, bye,
