Done. I created a tree for Oliver to maintain it and an account for him.
I also created a new tree with just the DVB table commits to:
	http://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git

I kept there both szap and scan files, although maybe it makes sense to
drop the szap table (channels-conf dir). It also makes sense to drop the
tables from the dvb-apps tree, to avoid duplicated stuff, and to avoid troubles
on distros that may want to have both packages.

Anyway, as Oliver has now access to both trees, I'll let him to handle
and maintain it.

Christoph,

Thank you for all the hard work over all those years!

Happy new year,
Mauro
