Dear Debian Chinese Team, The email address of Chinese team is getting invalid soon, due to the deprecation of Alioth. I'm writing to discuss about a proper solution.
As suggested by Boyuan, we can either
(1) Use «team+chin...@tracker.debian.org»
(2) Let a DD contact the Alioth Lists Team, asking them to preserve
this email address. (The deadline is May 31)
Which one to choose?
Regards,
lumin
