 Only if you use reportbug which will set the x-debbugs-cc by default;
 if you send it manually, it doesn't reach debian-devel.  Of course, you
 can send it manually and add x-debbugs-cc.

 We lack documentation ATM, but it's relatively straightforward: we use
 svn-buildpackage in mergeWithUpstream mode.  Your diff should only have
 a debian/.  We mostly use CDBS for simple packages and pure debhelper
 for more complex packages (especially platform libs with multiple
 builds).

 Upon your import, you should add the GNOME team as uploaders with the
 control.in trickery you can see in the other modules (check any CDBS
 module, only an include and a build-dep are required; slightly more for
 non-CDBS sources).  I can do it if you prefer.

 We also have an alioth mailing-list where all BTS traffic goes
 (subscribed to all PTS packages).  I'll subscribe it to the orca PTS
 when you import it.

 Because orca is an official module, it should be added in
 svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-gnome/desktop/unstable for the
 unstable branch.

 (We're discussing a revamp of the layout to add tags and trunk dirs on
 debian-gtk-gnome@lists.debian.org.)

 I've found two user names for "Kartik Mistry": kartik-guest and
 kartikm-guest; which one should I add to the pkg-gnome project?

 You're welcome to join #gnome-debian on GIMPNet (irc.gimp.org) if you
 have any question.

   Cheers,
