Hmmm, its not that all DDs would be in that group but the project should
have ACLs set (as well as Debian Science has). Seems this does not work
reliably in all cases.

I've adde you to the Blends group right now.

Definitely. Debian Astro went this step 2 years ago. The Blends
documentation has a chapter about creating an own Blend[1] (which might
have some outdated stuff so please read with some care). Debian Science
is actually an umbrella for topics that might become separate Blends and
as far as I can see the robotics topic is covered by some active people
maintaining a fair amount of packages that might profit from a more fine
grained categorisation than just robotics and robotics-dev.
Feel free to discuss this issue here and/or on
debian-blends@lists.debian.org. A new year would be a nice point in
time to create a new Blend. ;-)
Happy new year
Andreas.
