I do not think you are hijacking anything, Matthias (again cc:ed) can
join your effort later.  And since you explicitly asked for a
maintainer, then the situation will cleanly solve by itself :-)

Have you removed Peter Van Eynde?  If not, please do so.  If you want at
least one member of the Debian CL team there, just add myself.  But as
you will read later on this post, you are now officially part of the
Debian CL team ;-)

Sure.

I do not like to pollute the debian/ folder with single-line files.
Obviously, this is my opinion on this matter, so feel free to follow it
or not.

Now that I think of it, one advantage of using .docs and .install files
is that their content can be automatically parsed, but AFAIK there has
not been such a tool yet.

Yes, you need to be part of the Debian CL team.

You are a DD, thus your Alioth login is now "bdefreese" [1].  Since
Alioth uses the developer SSH keys by default [2], you should already be
able to access to Alioth with "bdefreese" as well.

I would prefer to add you as "bdefreese", since this is fixed while your
-guest account will eventually disappear.  Is there any reason I should
add you with your old -guest account?

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
