Send me your Alioth's account, I'll add you to the group. Don't forget
to read *all* the documents I pasted here! Don't put non-free packages
in Alioth, only put the 'debian' directory to the cvs, etc...

When your parckages are ok, send a mail here and those who have time
will review it and you'll find a sponsor.
