Even if I try to enforce people to create new Blends this attempt was
not yet as successfull as I was hoping. So the danger of to much
duplicated data is quite low for the moment. Finally this might become
a matter of communication once we might create one new Blend per week.

We've got some new subscribers from EMBL for the Debian Med list. If
this might turn out to be a tendendcy I might reconsider my plan to
split a Debian Bio Blend from Debian Med to enable more fine grained
structuring. I was discussing this in the past for several reasons but
up to now the idea did not found enough supporters.

For sure this depends from the list traffic.

As far as I know there is no such official point. I'd think kindly inviting
those people to subscribe the Alioth project and commit the packaging stuff
here might make perfect sense.
Kind regards
