Moving to the packaging team list, assuming it's ok to quote the

For a little bit of background, I talked with Oliver and Andreas (in cc)
at OctConf about what it would take to get their respective packages
(octave-interval and octave-image-acquisition) into the Debian archive.
They are both interested and motivated to learn and contribute to the
packaging effort, so I encouraged both of them to try it out and get
involved with the team.

I suggested that they create accounts on alioth and request to be added
to the Debian Octave Group to gain access to the pkg-octave git repos,
and introduce themselves to the team and what they want to work on.

Welcome to both of you!
