Great! I've also thinking about started a team for all the gnome-shell extensions we have in Debian. The Debian Qt/KDE team has a complementary Debian KDE Extras team (see https://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/ for more information), I wonder if it might be worth while considering having a GNOME Extras team for all the GNOME related stuff that isn't part of upstream GNOME? > Now that Alioth is beginning to close down and its replacement is not > yet ready, how would I start this team now? Well, it's not official yet of course but salsa.debian.org is running GitLab and it seems like the likely Alioth replacement. I think it would be less disruptive to use a project on gitlab.org and get used to its tools, which should make it easier to move the project onto Debian infrastructure than from Launchpad.net. Although, Launchpad.net would be preferable to Github, at least Launchpad.net is now free software. -Jonathan
