Hi Stefan, and thanks for your answer.

I saw your change message on the wiki page [0] "min12xxw: that would be a 
hostile takeover." Let me clarify: my idea (which now seems to be shared by 
others) is to merge forces within a team, centered around printing, because I 
think that concerted action in that domain could be a good thing.

This is not meant as "Please give me all your packages" (hijack), but rather as 
"If you want so, be welcome in this new team" (team joining invitation). I sent 
the previous mails to the packages maintainers who could IMHO be interested. 
Then everybody is free to join or not. I documented your declining on the wiki 
page.

Sorry if you misunderstood my (and others') intention.

Cheers, 

OdyX
