Package: lists.debian.org Severity: wishlist Dear list masters and fellow Debian peers, I hereby would like to propose to create a mailing list for collaborative maintenance.

Packages with Maintainer: debian-collab-maint@lists.debian.org are declared to have an open an collaborative maintenance. Rules are yet to be defined and discussed within the project (following this thread?). In any case, concerned packages have to be in the Salsa Debian group. However, it should be optional for packages in the Salsa Debian group to have Maintainer: d-c-m@l.d.o. This mailing list would also make it possible to follow and keep track of bugs and etc of the related packages. I am aware it is currently possible to individually subscribe to a package's tracker, but the scope is different from a collaborative maintenance.
