I see no problem in team members going silent for (long) periods at a 
time:  Better to have interested people able to work directly code even 
if not doing it in practice, than not having them able to do so.


Here's the steps needed to join our team:

1) subscribe to our mailinglist at 
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-awstats-devel

2) Create a personal account at http://alioth.debian.org/

3) Request to join collab-maint team at the bottom of the long list at 
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/collab-maint/ - and as explanation 
please mention that you need it for working with us in the AWstats team.

4) Clone the code from git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/cdbs-skel
(or update your already public-pulled clone)

How about you do that yourself when officially member of our team ;-)


Welcome aboard!

 - Jonas

P.S.

Oh, well: For completeness sake I should mention that off course any 
current team member is welcome to speak up and complain if disagreeing 
with welcoming you int our team.  I can't imagine why that could be, but 
don't wan't to sound like a tyran either.  In fact I do not see myself 
as the "leader" here, just happened to work on this package before most 
others...
