It'll be a low-volume list used for dev -> packager\nannouncements & coordinaiton, and perhaps discussion about git packaging\nin general (to the extent people feel a need to not discuss that on the\nmain ML).\n\nIf you're interested sign up at:\nhttps://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/git-packagers\n\nI've already invited a few people I found in\nDebian/Ubuntu/Arch/Gentoo/FreeBSD git package changelogs with some quick\nGoogling & those I personally know package Git, but if you are or know\nanyone packaging git please sign up / prod those people.\n\nThanks!\n"}]}
