[Since at bottom you said you could write to the list I'm just
answering there. Please in future just use the list from the
beginning.]

Now you can. I think its a stupid default setting.

An ITP is just an e-mail. It has no technical side effects (besides
opening a bug in BTS).

Please create the project in Salsa (please let me know if you can not
even now). Its fine if you ask for RFS on the mailinglist *without* the
official RFS mechanism. I admit I do *not* follow mentors.d.n so I will
not notice any ITP of an R package.

That's my main argument for always sticking to the list. Next time
a websearch should uncover the answer.

Dylan just knows that we are talking about the same. If he is just
specifying a package name he can safely assume that I will find it on
https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/<packagename>

Ne need to repost since I quotet the whole text. Next time please
use the list in the first place.
Hope this helps
Andreas.
