Note that this option is not that far off. From what I understand,
writing to foo at tracker.debian.org works already, there are just some
rough corners at this point. For example, there are no archives for
messages sent through tracker.d.o. It's still unclear how it will all
work, unfortunately... There are many ideas on the table and I would
suggest we wait and see for a while. The alioth and list admins are
still hashing it out, from what I can tell.
