The current maintainer of scantailor filed a RFA (bug #816504) and I would like to take over maintainership. I have not packaged for Debian before but I think I mostly understand the process. I still have to fix a couple things, but I've managed to make a .deb for a recently released version that works and passes the lintian checks.
I have a question about Alioth though. The debian package is being maintained at (http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/scantailor.git). Can I get access to that, or do I need to upload this to github instead and change the Vcs fields in the debian/control file correspondingly?
