This matches what I saw when I logged in. The only data package I've
contributed to Bioc is derfinderData. We haven't had to make any
changes to it in a long time as you can see at
https://github.com/leekgroup/derfinderData. I don't know if that
played a role in the package not showing up on m list. My email is
there on the DESCRIPTION file though
https://github.com/leekgroup/derfinderData/blob/master/DESCRIPTION#L7.

I like the change, it's much clearer!

Nice! By the way, I just noticed a typo on
http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/faq/ bullet 17:

git clone git at git.bioconductor.org:packagse/<myPackage>

packagse -> packages

Ok! To me it's really the "Git / ssh Bioc FAQ".
