Sounds great!

Generally I suggest to look at existing packages and follow how they are 
done.

Feel free to ask questions.  Also feel free to simply wonder loudly, 
even if not really questions - our team Policy is still pretty loose, 
e.g. we have no rules for handling versioning or placement of 
non-JavaScript files like CSS, and it won't hurt to try raise such 
discussions...

As I understand it, the Alioth interface is crappy and only provides 
interface for a single git repository, not a pile of them as we need.  
If I am right in that, I strongly recommend to *not* enable the VCS in 
the Alioth interface.


Also, I prefer to use collab-maint and only use this team at Alioth for 
our mailinglist.  The reason for that is to make it easiest possible for 
DDs to contribute (because all DDs are by default member of 
collab-maint).  I find that easing access for DDs outweigh making it 
easiest possible for non-DDs to contribute (they need to first become 
member of our team and then ask for additional membership of 
collab-maint).

I have heard rumors that it should be possible to ask the Alioth admins 
to mark our SCM area as automatically including all DDs just as the 
collab-maint does, but I have not checked if that is indeed possible.

Do anyone in this team object to grant access to all DDs to our SCM? If 
not, do someone volunteer to figure out if it is possible?

Maybe just a matter of time.  Some ACL-related stuff is applied by CRON 
jobs.
