As you might have noticed :) I ran into this one myself, so (after a short 
chat with GA on irc) I'd like to clarify a few things, potentially of interest 
to other folks in -testing, too:

Is bugs.maemo.org really the preferred option ? There is no visible automatic, 
or user level registration of projects there, nor clear guidelines how to 
register a projects with b.m.o. According to GA, the process includes manual 
intervention and there is also no grouping (by Maemo categories), so it has 
great potential to get messy when projects start to migrate en masse to -
testing. Opening a product for 'mirror', a one-liner script, for example, 
seems like a huge overkill.

If we forego b.m.o, how do we identify this on the alternatively suggested 
packages page ? Again, I found no apparent way of entering such information on 
the page, nor wiki guideline (surely we don't want that sort of things stuffed 
into package descriptions?).
