OK, I've started a page: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/Merge. Please 
add, edit, remove whatever you think necessary. I just filled a stub based on 
what I think we have agreed.

Great! I placed my vote. I agree with Fabian that debian-multimedia may be 
associated with Marillat's repository, and we should avoid that.

Free's point about using the same project for lists and everything is also 
important. Using different alioth projects would be confusing, I think.
