OK, I created a bapase@qa.debian.org email alias with Barry, Raphael and
me.
I've also created a wiki page with a few links:
http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/bapase
TODO list:
- improve the wiki page. In particular, tell people how to report
packages (which info they should include, when it's better to contact
MIA, etc)
- write something for the next DeveloperNews issue
- process the 29 (eek) packages that should be orphaned or removed now
(of course, double-checking each of them)
