Raphaël Hertzog has updated tracker.debian.org to support team email
addresses. We can now send mails to team+<team-slug>@tracker.debian.org.
The tracker system will also recognize the email in the maintainer field
and automatically add the packages to the tracker.debian.org team.

In our case, our tracker email would be team+pkg-go at tracker.debian.org.

For now, these mails will be discarded and you will have to rely on
other tracker.debian.org features to receive updates about the packages
but more features will be added.

I have created a pkg-go team on tracker.debian.org:
 - https://tracker.debian.org/teams/pkg-go/

To join the team, ask me and I will add you to it (I still don't really
know how it works).

I have begun testing building our team page with Gitlab Pages[2]. Salsa
is supposed to support it[3]. However, the build is stuck and it does
not work. I suppose this is going to be fixed soon. Our team page would
eventually move to https://pages.debian.net/pkg-go-team/website.

You can already migrate your packages in the salsa pkg-go team[4]. I
have already migrated more than a hundred.

I suggest that every time you upload a package as part of the team, you
take the time to migrate it manually to salsa, removing it from Alioth.

In a previous discussion on this list, tincho was wondering if it was a
good idea to update the VCS-* links because we can setup redirects with
AliothRewriter[5] to point anonscm.debian.org links to salsa.

However, the AliothRewriter README says:

This means that when you upload a package, you should use the
opportunity to update the VCS-* links.

I may start working on a bulk transition script (that will also include
AliothRewriter redirects) but this does not mean that you should not
migrate package manually in the meantime, as you upload them.
