[dep-plumbing] Migration of https://alioth.debian.org/projects/dep/

[Charles Plessy]

Hello everybody,

I have been very silent about the DEPs in the past years, partly because
of my incapacity to make the ikiwiki integration work again after the
last big restructuration of Alioth.

But now there is an opportunity for a change :)

 * First, about the mailing lists.

For dep-plumbing (this list), I can ask the creation of a replacement on
lists.debian.org.  But perhaps the low traffic suggests that we can use
debian-project directly instead ?

For dep-commits... do we really need it ?  If we have DEP 0 as a Git
repository on salsa.d.o, people can follow the changes with the RSS feed
or by asking to be added to the email-on-push service.

 * Second, about the Subversion repository.

I propose to create a team on salsa.d.o ("dep-team" ? "debian-dep" ?),
make the "Debian" group member of that team, with enough rights for
creating new projects.

Then, I propose to export each DEP that is currently in the Subversion
repository as a specific project.  Hopefully none of them used features
specific from ikiwiki, so they can be rendered as GitLab pages.

Then, we would point dep.debian.net to redirect to something like
dep.pages.debian.net/dep-team/deps.

What do you think about this ?

Have a nice day,

Charles
