I've been quite busy for the last few weeks, so sorry for the long
delay in replying in the other direction.

 - With your next upload of your packages, put:

   Maintainer: Horde Maintainers <pkg-horde-hackers at lists.alioth.debian.org>
   Uploaders: Roberto C. Sanchez <roberto at familiasanchez.net>, Ola Lundqvist <opal at debian.org>, Lionel Elie Mamane <lmamane at debian.org>, Jose Carlos Medeiros <debian at psabs.com.br>, Gregory Colpart (evolix) <reg at evolix.fr>

   in debian/control. The rule is: The mailing list as Maintainer,
   yourself (the main maintainer of the package) as _first_ in
   "Uploaders", then the other team members in Uploaders.

 - Subscribe to the ML if you are not yet subscribed.

 - Add your packages to the GNU Arch repository. One branch for
   upstream version, one branch for sid (and one branch for the stable
   release if when you issue an update for stable). The early archives
   of the list contain example sessions by me. Feel free to ask any
   question. (Cannot really expand right now.)

 - Continue taking good care of your packages :)

 - Hang around on the ML; if you see a problem (bug, new upstream
   version, ...) that you can address (with a fix, an upload, a remark
   / idea on the bug log, ...), do it! You are authorised and
   encouraged to work on other packages handled by the team (including
   making uploads), as every other member of the team is encouraged to
   help out on your packages.

   Add yourself in the "Uploaders" line of a package if you are not
   already there when doing an upload. Uploads count as maintainer
   uploads as far as Debian procedures are concerned.

   Feel also free to sponsor uploads of non-DD members of the team
   (after reviewing their work, as usual with sponsored uploads).

I've populated the website http://pkg-horde.alioth.debian.org/ with a
small "procedures" page. I think we're getting to the size where
writing these things down is useful.
