Do you think that the latest gitorious sources are a stable basis? Did 
you inspect the patches that were applied since PR1.3?

That does not sound right. It sounds like you are trying to split this 
small community into a few communities.

I suggest that you include kernel-power.

I hope it does not sound too offensive, but IRC is not the right place 
to manage software distribution.

I think that the start a community SSU should be in consulting with the 
community about the goals of this project and the ways to achieve these 
goals. Such a discussion needs to take place in a forum that is not real 
time, and is archived for future reference.

I'll start this discussion:

What is your goal in setting up this SSU repository?
