Count me in on this team (on salsa & mailing-list).

But about moving things, my feelings are mixed. Indeed, this very week,
I joined the OCaml Team and packaged src:elpi there -- which is
mathematics software. But since it's written in OCaml, I feel it's
better to keep it in the language-specific team.

For all packages in the debian science team, I'm ok with them moving to
the new team. [I have no clue how to move them]

Perhaps the debian sagemath team should be merged in the math team?

Cheers,
