 Nice ideas, excep I would find it a bit weird to use
 ffmpeg-debian at packages.debian.org for discussions.  I guess that could
 work.

 I think it's common to have a) bugs list b) maintainer/devel list
 c) commits list; I don't mind when a) and b) are merged.


 Concerning git, I didn't look at topgit yet, but I liked a lot
 pulseaudio's patches in git system.  I don't mind git at all, but I
 think I'd be happier to take more time to select a git -> patches
 system.  I don't quite like the concept of having patches as generated
 data which end up alone in the source package.
