No, you just have to subsribe to debian-devel. If you're a beta tester you
better subscribe there, too.

While I like to have Carlos taking over a package he doesn't have to.
Subscribing to debian-devel is the same task as subscribing to debian-user.

The developers only list is debian-private.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, thanks you answered.

At least you don't have to be a developer. Testing suffices. :-)

I'm pretty sure I resubscribed to debian-devel by sending a subscribe mail.
But then I've been wrong before.

Probably not, that's how I did it every time (was unsubscribed due to mail  
problems recently).
