Good idea to ask. I just blindly assumed that wasn't possible - as I see no sense in current behavior. > > Also, I prefer to use collab-maint and only use this team at Alioth > > for our mailinglist.

There is probably some mention of such migration at the Alioth Wiki page(s), unless I am mistaken about that being an issue. [details on ACLs for your Alioth accounts snipped] I don't see how we in this team can do anything about eventual issues with access rights at Alioth. I suggest taking it up with the Alioth admins (as it sounds liek you've done already), rather than here. > The more significant motivation for using pkg-javascript/*.git is just > the logical organisation of the packages rather than security I haven't tried, but there should be nothing wrong with simply putting out git repositories in a subdirectory at collab-maint.
