The next week is a bit busy for me as well, but after that I could
work on this a bit. I think Sylvestre Ledru intended to do some
reorganizational work, in particular borrowing the policy from
pkg-scicomp (although I just had a look for said policy and did not
see it). Sylvestre, maybe we can split the work up somehow?
On the purely technical side, if we do decide to go with a git VCS,
then what do people think about the pkg-phototools "best packaging
practices" as a starting point?

It does not seem to make sense to me to get carried away with
infrastructure from the very start (also, like almost everyone else, I
have only so much time for Debian). What do we need minimally to get
started? I would say a list of more specific and related projects,
and some kind of brief description of the goals. I would also suggest
that any kind of categorization take place in a wiki/webpage, so it is
fluid. Also git naturally produces a one repo per package viewpoint
(which is a bit awkward for people like pkg-perl, but not so
conclusive for us, I think).
