I get the welcome answer from the list, and now it seems we are both 
subscribed to pkg-ocaml-maint-ara-devel 
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/roster/pkg-ocaml-maint-ara-devel

as for the bug tracking I think we still can get that inside pkg-ocaml-maint 
project by means of Category and/or Group, e.g. ara could be just another 
category. 

http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=browse&group_id=30119&atid=410125

The web page could be part of http://pkg-ocaml-maint.alioth.debian.org/ 
project page, e.g. in projects/ara/ and you to transfer the files from 
ouvaton there ...

Having subproject in another project might be a bit awkward though, and I 
don't mind ara having its own project.

Well, I think it would be just at your convinience. I can participate in both 
ways. Hm, just need some hints from time to time and reviews from any 
official DD ... I would be glad to hear any comments about our debian/ from 
Sven or Thomas soon.
