Hi all,

Since Debian Salsa is now in beta
(https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2017/12/msg00003.html) I
propose we migrate towards it.

The old "mailman" repo is still on svn so is in high need to migrate to
git anyway.

I think there are three steps involved:
1) Change maintainer field, because this mailing list will go away. It is
said that "mailman at packages.debian.org" can be used instead.

2) Import pkg-mailman.git from Alioth to Salsa
(http://www.df7cb.de/blog/2017/Salsa_batch_import.html)

2) Migrate "mailman" from svn to git on Salsa.

We can do (1) right away for our packages, regardless of vcs migration.
Any objections on starting on the other points?


Cheers,
Thijs
