Thanks.

I see xml-core has been moved out.  It was actively maintained when Ardo was
around.

Can you do the same for all co-maintained package using this address.

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-sgml%40lists.debian.org

* debiandoc-sgml  popcon=200 (git-buildpackage used to use this but now moved to
use docbook2x) 
* debiandoc-sgml-doc
* debiandoc-sgml-doc-pt-br
* sgml-data popcon=118885	

(Yes, I have been baby-sitting these after Ardo has been out-of-reach.)

Another zombe group is Debian XML/SGML Group

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-xml-sgml-pkgs%40lists.alioth.debian.org

Notable and high-popcon packages are
* libxml2 popcon=60283
* libxslt popcon=207556
* docbook2x popcon=283 but git-buildpackage build-depends on this.
  Martin, what do you think?
* docbook-dsssl popcon=2435 (less important now)

These may be better to be maintained in debian/ in salsa.

Co-maintained for these packages may be not correct.  Almost orphaned but stable
and functioning is the state of these packages.  Keeping them on more accessible
section may be good idea.....

I guess we need to make extra upload when site URL changed.  Or will there be
some redirect from old git URL to new URL?
