I am not yet subscribed, so thanks a lot!

Oh.  I actually prefer keeping the git at collab-maint, to make it 
easiest possible for DDs to contribute (even if that requires non-DDs to 
jump through the additional hoops of requesting access to two Alioth 
groups: The benefit of often more experienced package developers 
outweigh in my opinion the backside.

I heard recently that it is possible to ask Alioth admins to change 
access rights for an Alioth group to auto-include all DDs just like 
collab-maint, but I don't know the details of that.  If that could be 
arranged I am ok with moving the git there - but until then I prefer 
keeping it at the collab-maint group.

All changes (except the move of location) seems sane - from lloking only 
at that brief summary here - I haven't yet taken time to look at the 
actual changes.

As I understand it, BPO requires a package to exist in testing, which 
won't happen until _after_ the release of Wheezy.  So I don't see the 
need for rushing it: Seems crazy to me that the vulnerable BPO package 
is still offered, after the corresponding package has been dropped from 
testing.  But I am no big fan of BPO anyway, so what do I know.
