For reasons that Simon McVittie explained much better than I could, I 
explicitly didn't create an e-mail list (I wouldn't subscribe) and also 
didn't create the tracker team as Timo did (I won't subscribe). I 
thought about it and I discarded it.

While being able to see which packages are in this group is nice, that 
wasn't a goal I had. What I wanted to express is that if you have any 
issues with one of my packages, just go and fix them, no need to ask. 
You don't need to find them in some overview for that purpose. If this 
movement becomes a thing, we'll fix our tools to show it.

Paul
