IMO the main "integration" will be to extract data from the VCS hosted on alioth.

I don't see why such a project should be developed within DPMH. We might provide some info about its existence and the location of the repository with auto-built packages... but I don't see it going further, at least not in the short term. > Also, reusing existing solutions to avoid having to develop some > low-level components.

As I said, I don't see much in common between DPMH and a forge. Maybe some parts to handle mailing lists but I don't see anything else that could be useful...
