Sounds good to me. I also digged out some mails from the archive with subject "closing down debian-multimedia alioth project and l.d.o list", dating back to April 2009. I never noticed there was still traffic on debian-multime...@l.d.o. Anyway, make this the place for users and keep pkg-multimedia-maintainers for "internal" discussion. Also note that we should change the maintainer address in the following packages: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-multime...@lists.debian.org If we want to make debian-multimedia a place for users anytime soon, we'd probably need to change all those packages upfront, IOW, before we release squeeze. I'm not entirely sure the release team is happy if we'll upload 17 packages just because of a maintainer's email address change, but given the long release cycle, I see no other way if we want to use debian-multime...@l.d.o, unless it's acceptable to see a bug reports now and then on this list. BTW: Many of these packages are pretty old, e.g. no new upload since 2007 for hexter. They are also not available on git.debian.org. It might be a good first step for beginners to get some experience with git, git-buildpackage, team guidelines (multiline fields) and housekeeping in general to help with these 17 packages.
