Thanks a lot Elena, for proposing your help. It's nice to have the
opportunity to interact with you.

Can you please add me to the clojure team, with enough rights to create
repositories? (nick on Salsa/irc/everywhere: zigo).

If they are in the wrong Salsa repository, then best is that someone
with admin access to both area moves them. Indeed, when one moves the
repository using the Alioth interface, this adds a redirection, which is
much nicer than forking the project and later deleting it (which leaves
a dead link behind).

Do you have enough access rights to do that?

What's your usual nick name? ehashman?

A few mails were sent to the old list address, ie @lists.alioth instead
of @alioth-lists, so you were not reached. I fixed that in my last email
to this puppet list.

Can you move the package to the clojure team?

I was thinking that maybe, writing a package version bump would be a
good introduction to the team. Can you suggest one that I could attempt?

Thanks.

Someone with admin rights on both team can do that (or of course, a
Salsa admin). Do you know anyone that could do it, if you grant access
to the Clojure team (temporarily)?
