Maintaining a package (JASP)

[Boris Pek]

Hi Joris,

Use mailing list [1] for discussions with team members. Some info about
joining to Debian Science team you may find at [2]. Also have in mind that
git repositories for our packages were recently moved from Alioth [3][4] to
Salsa [5], and I am not sure that our documentation have been updated...
