[Pkg-electronics-devel] Categorising / taking over adms (Was: Hint regarding Blends metapackages)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

in line with my unanswered hint below I'm currently checking Debian
Science packages for those that are not yet categorised in the science
tasks.  I'm sure I'll find more but currently I'm wondering about adms
(Uploaders in CC).  It is currently in Debian Science Git repository
(nothing bad about this but it might make sense to move it to
electronics team), not mentioned in any Science task which would be
no problem if it would be implicitly pulled via the electronics
tasks.  Unfortunately it is also not mentioned here.

I have no idea which task might fit best - so please either add it
to some task that fits (or tell me in what task I should add it).

Kind regards

      Andreas.
