Hi,

I just cleaned up the list of team members on alioth according to the
replies we got.
If you were removed, and intend to keep working in the team, it's of
course perfectly fine to ask to be added back!

The team has 6 DDs, which means that sponsorship requests should be easy
to fullfill if everybody participates (hint hint).

I committed to SVN a list of packages that nobody wants to maintain.
I don't think that we need to act on them right now, but we should
clearly address them during the wheezy cycle.
