Indeed, I'm responsible for a lot of packages, mainly under the pkg-xfce
umbrella (I'll handle all of them, btw, so you can drop other Uploaders from
this).

For pkg-xfce, we moved the list to lists.debian.org, but that still requires a
sourceful upload. For other packages I migrated to alioth-lists.debian.net or
other solutions, but again that requires a sourceful upload.

This is an ongoing process, but obviously it won't be fixed anytime soon (I'm
not doing uploads just for that). So I guess you can go ahead with the MBF, so
we have a way to track it.
