Whoever wants to help should get an alioth account and join the
pkg-gridengine team, I think it makes no sense to start a new team.

If git is an issue, we could discuss how to proceed forward.

In any case, for wheezy we will have to stick with gridengine as the
freeze is now in effect.

The main question during the freeze would be where to upload new
packages.  As a change in upstream would imply a change in source
package, we could just upload to unstable without interfering with
possible high-priority fixes targetted at gridengine for wheezy.  We
would just have to come up with a plan to branch the repository
appropriately I guess.
