Well, the only ones listed as maintainers for devel:languages:smalltalk
are Stefan and myself. 

I know that I did just very small work there - but also got no
submit-requests for packages in this repo since a long time. And if you
compare who reviewed your submit-requests for the Education repo, you
might notice that I do reviews for all the projects I'm involved in
once I notice a request. 

But as I am not a fan of thousands of repositories, I'm fine with
deleting the devel:languages:smalltalk repo and using the Education
repo instead. If Stefan has no objections, I will do this on Friday,
2013-03-15.

Just for reference my idea for all those "devel-Repos" is more like: 
* we might need devel repos to keep the packages affecting each other
  together in one specified repo to see very fast if something breaks
  (I call it openSUSE:Factory - but we currently have just a limited
  set of "maintainers" there)
* we might have dedicated repos for new/patched/whatever packages that
  introduce incompatibilities to the current set (the main argument for
  me to have different devel-repos) 
* we might try to reduce the overall amount of repos wherever possible
  to make it easier for developers and customers to find "their right
  package"
but that is my personal view and has nothing to do with the current
process on OBS.

With kind regards,
Lars
