Sorry, I missed this thread. I was just responding to the fact that alioth is going away soon.

I picked "reproducible" because that's what the group is called on alioth.

I don't have an opinion on "using something else than salsa.debian.org" but if we don't decide before alioth gets decommissioned we still have to move the repos *somewhere*.

The ticket is just for squatting the name, it doesn't prevent any other efforts. I was not planning to migrate the git repos (and delete the old ones) without asking people further, of course.
