I think this is the simplest and fastest one. (Would it be ok with Debian to
have one "Debian JED Group" with two mail addies?)

My suggestion for the list name would be:

- Maintainer: Debian JED Group <pkg-jed-slang-modules at lists.alioth.debian.org>
+ Maintainer: Debian JED Group <pkg-slang-modules at lists.alioth.debian.org>

as the slang modules can be used outside jed as well.

Too much hassle, IMHO

If there is noone except you working on the modules, this is an option as
well. However, I have not problem with our Alioth group being used for
slang-modules maintaining (be it by you alone or someone joining).

Thanks for your work on Debian JED.
