I've added you as a "senior developer" and will upgrade it to Admin after
you get some uploads done.  Is that okay with you?

Feel free to start working on the package.  It is probably a good idea to
send an email to the amavisd-new-debian-devel ML, and CC upstream,
introducing yourself.  You'd also benefit from reading the amavis ML
upstream, as some patches and nasty bug reports we should be aware of do
show up there from time to time.

I don't recall if CVS trunk is sane or not, it is in the middle of the
upstream merge of 2.4.3.  The easiest way to clean it up is to finish
packaging 2.4.3 (merging config changes from upstream to debian's, diff'ing
to 2.4.2 and to 2.4.2-6 and checking the patches/ directory to make sure no
patches were lost), and only then try to go to the latest upstream.

Also, if you want to move away from CVS, we can do that.  I'd suggest using
git, it is extremely fast and friendly to distributed offline work... but
that's just personal preference.  Brian May would prefer SVN or SVK, I
think.
