 Good points.

 Packages in the repo:
 - alacarte: I am personally happy to have commit access; could move to
   pkg-gnome
 - bzrtools: I'm an user, but it seems to be handled by pkg-bazaar-maint
   nowadays -- should probably be dropped from utnubu?
 - dmraid: agreed, that's an important package, in need of a real
   maintainer
 - gnome-sudoku: merged in gnome-games AFAIK -- should probably be
   dropped from utnubu?
 - gtimelog: tried it a couple of times, but not using it ATM; popular
   package,  in need of a real maintainer
 - prefixsuffix: doesn't seem to be in Debian; no idea what this is
   actually
 - timer-applet: timer-applet I uploaded this once, I don't use it
   regularly, no idea how popular it is

 I propose we move the alacarte package to pkg-gnome, but call for a
 maintainer to handle it within pkg-gnome.

 I propose we RFA dmraid, gtimelog, and timer-applet.
