[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#568109: xfonts-scalable: Utopia has been Free software for a good amount of time

as far as the xfonts-scalable package is concerned, if you want fonts
to be added in there, the best way to go is reporting bugs upstream:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/

(Feel free to Cc me while submitting.)

As far as coordination between the various teams goes, I guess the
fonts team is the one with a fonts policy or something? I didn't check
yet, I've only ever uploaded new revisions of xfonts-* packages, only
doing some housekeeping in there (copying, build system updates, …).
