Maybe just putting them in CC: will suffice. 

Meanwhile I've asked the alioth admins to have svn as a default SCM:
https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=311013&group_id=1&atid=200001

Once svn is in place, we can start moving our stuff there. 

Yes, a note to cas-dev is absolutely in order ;)

ciao,
Michele
