That would work for me. I'd be equally happy to move the autopkgtest
git to collab-maint, so that interested parties can edit it there, if
that's any easier. I really like how collab-maint is being used today,
and I don't have the impression at all that DDs go crazy and randomly
break stuff in "foreign" gits just because they can.

I'm not sure how much sense it makes to aggregate all the different
specs like Python packaging or autopkgtest into one repository. It
makes it a bit harder to link between that and other parts of the
documentation (like README.running-tests and the click format
specification, which isn't and shouldn't be under the DEP umbrella at
least right now).

But I don't have a strong opinion on that matter, as long as we can
agree to a reasonable source format (like ReStructured Text or
Markdown, or something similar, not an XML docbook monster as source)
and auto-convert them to nice HTML pages.

Cool, thanks!
