Upstream ofcourse.

Agreed, but to my knowledge xfburn isn't really usable yet?
I do however hope Jean-François will have more time for it soon.

Here's the thing ...

Everything in Debian with regards to cd-recording should and will be
team maintained. That's actually part of the pending discussion.

Not really. I was waiting for Ganneff and Sledge to be over with
their debconf commitments. So I'd suggest against creating a project
for now.

I wrote some information about team-based maintaining above.
The proposal that Ganneff and Sledge have got needs to be refined, but 
after some discussion with them, and some changes to it I
believe it could be posted to the list.

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
