Better group names
Hi, I think the current team names are a mess, and forcing everyone to use a suffix "-team" isn't helping because everyone is picking inconsistent prefixes instead.
It's better to standardise on a set of prefixes and ditch the suffix completely. Prefixes will look better and be easier to navigate, when lists of group names are sorted.
Glancing through the current list of public groups, I suggest the following prefixes:
- debian-* - for Debian infrastructure and admin stuff
- pkg-* - for group maintenance of related packages
- l10n-* - for localisation efforts
For example:
| Old | New |
|---|---|
| rust-team | pkg-rust |
| js-team | pkg-js |
| ocaml-team | pkg-ocaml |
| pkg-go-team | pkg-go |
| debian-remote-team | pkg-remote |
| cmake | pkg-cmake |
| debian-l10n-pt-team | l10n-pt |
| chinese-team | l10n-chinese |
| russian-l10n-team | l10n-russian |
| qa | debian-qa |
| debian-irc-team | debian-irc |
| debian-keyring | debian-keyring |
| mirror-team | debian-mirror |
| popularity-contest-team | debian-popcon |
Fixing this now would be much less painful than fixing it later, or not fixing it at all.
