I believe that Jérémy has been in contact with them, and was rebuffed.
 Debian bug 611698 tracks the conversation a bit, and in accordance
with policy §10.1, debian-devel was looped into the conversation.  But
at this point, debian-hams seems quite opposed to our request for them
to change. [1]  Our choice then seems, to me, to be to have both names
changed, or to only change ours.  Either way, the name will be
changing, absent somehow convincing debian-hams to reconsider, per the
same policy.

But considering bug 611698 was opened and the conversation started in
February, I don't think they are likely to.

Sincerely,

Harlan Lieberman-Berg
