Please don't call it "dev.debian.net" (or "pkgs.debian.net"). Those are each both a namespace landgrab and far too vague. What would be wrong with "gitlab.debian.net" ? (Is gitlab a trademark that we should avoid in this context?) gitlab.debian.net would have the virtue that everyone would know what it was. Ian.
