Well, if you become the dvb-apps maintainer, then _you_ decide
if it's a good idea.  That's part of the defintion of "maintainer" :-)
It doesn't hurt to listen to users, but if no one comments
you can do whatever you want with it.

But I'm only acting as kind of a webmaster, Mauro creates the accounts.
So we have to wait for him to respond.

I guess you could ask the maintainer of the dvb-apps package
of your favourite distribution for opinions, and also check
which other packages depend on dvb-apps.
