I had a look at your package (because it is relevant for Debian Med) and
as I told you before if you just have packages in python-modules team it
is perfectly fine to stay in this Vcs if you prefer to do so.

I'm just using lintian -I -i which results in a

If some kind soul of this team would ask alioth admins to grant commit

As I said: Whatever you prefer is fine.
 
Besides the nitpicking with the '.' above I wonder how the issue you
mentioned on the Debian Med list about licenses of XML files might be.
I neither have found such files in the code nor did I have seen
references in debian/copyright.  If this is a non-issue I would go
on sponsering the package.

Kind regards
