It is fine if Jakub is working as sponsor - I know that he is doing a great job in sponsering. However, he can perfectly do this in Debian Science repository as well becasue as collab-maint is writable for any Debian developer the Debian Science repository has the same feature. The advantage of using Debian Science in your specific case would be that there is some gatherer for machine readable information running on this repository to fetch all metadata for the packaging and we could put it on our tasks list for Debian Science packages[1] *right now* even before it is uploaded to Debian. So you could on one hand use another "channel" than ITP to show that there is some work in progress and on the other hand you can "advertise" the program on the web sentinel pages to the world (for instance including scientific publication data or whatever). BTW, could you tell me in what tasks listed[1] the package would fit? Inventing a new task would be fine as well. In short: You have a sponsor which is fine, you have a repository that could be easily moved for extra profit without loosing anything. > However I would like to join the Debian Science group as it seem related to > most of the packages I am interested in > (http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=giuliopaci%40gmail.com).
