Raphaël,

Sounds like a chapter on "Debian Teams", I like this concept.  While you
may get a chapter co-maintainer, it would be good to clearly assign
responsibility for content to a representative from each team.  If you
provide an example and guidelines for what's expected this may help.
While it's not a real team, I would add "porting teams" to the list.

In a policy document you want to keep it very brief: purpose, goals,
URL, maybe a few lines on how the team functions.  In a document with
more details each team can elaborate a bit.

Cheers,
