Whoa, whoa, whoa! That list address looks a little to short. The correct
address is (with group name, for Maintainer field):

  Debian XML/SGML Project <debian-xml-sgml-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>

I think since there are so few of us at this point, we should just
maintain the Uploaders: field manually. If it becomes a problem later,
we can move to a different system (see the GNOME team's system for an
example).

I will add these things to the guide (I am working on it right now).
