Migrating to Salsa?

thanks!

And now uploaded with existing changes already in git and updated Vcs-* 
headers; looking through the source afterwards I found a few more places 
where alioth was mentioned as a location for the source so I have updated 
them in git for whenever python-debian is next uploaded.

There are still plenty of places where alioth lists are mentioned; since 
there is no working replacement for that yet, I guess we stick with them for 
the time being. I think we should still have a place to have discussion 
about python-debian development (not everything is a bug for a bug tracker) 
but there is no place for that yet.

(Was someone contacted about migrating the alioth lists to new 
infrastructure?)

Indeed, I had wondered if that made sense as an "upstream" tracker, but 
having two separate trackers doesn't feel like much of a win for me. That 
said, anything that encourages new contributions is a good thing.
