Huhu, I was typing the same email. :p

It is also a question of the position of
debian-science-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org vs
debian-science at lists.debian.org

I see two options:
1) We only use debian-science-maintainers for maintainer questions
And use debian-science for more general science questions.
If so, yes, debian-science-commits will be necessary.

2) We use debian-science at lists.debian.org also for maintaining aspects.
If so, we can set the commit mails on debian-science-maintainers

I prefer the first solution, what is your opinion on this ?
