Would be fine for me, too.

I wager Thomas and me would find ways to keep a mercurial mirror of  
the horde git repository that still enables me to be the arbiter for  
patch integration into Horde git. Something like mirroring git without  
allowing real commit access to the repo but enabling to use the  
pbranch extension for patch management on top of the base repo. Don't  
know if that would work but having a patch queue would be the way to  
go anyway.

In any case perl-kolab, kolabd and kolabd-webadmin should all allow  
source releases now and I'd be ready to split the sources from the  
packaging once we agree on the destination location.

Thanks!

Cheers,
