[Pkg-auth-maintainers] Maintainance of Yubikey-related packages

[Nicolas Braud-Santoni]

Hi,

Given that there was no further discussion in the last 2 months, and
additional uploads missing from the packaging repo (which only bumped the
version number to a non-NMU one, to boot), I'm taking the liberty to move
forward with what I outlined in the previous mail:

- Merging your uploads in the git history, tagging them as such.
- Creating packaging repos on alioth.d.o, pushing the curated history.
- Updating the package metadata to reflect that.


Note that all pkg-auth members have access to those git repositories,
so getting added to the team would be the easiest.


Best,

  nicoo


PS: Resent to pkg-auth-maintainers@ as it previously bounced.
