Why do you need to fork so many different MATE packages?

I tried looking in the git repositories but the history from https://github.com/mate-desktop/ has not been included so it was impossible for me to easily tell how these packages are different from the MATE packages.

Have you even talked to the MATE developers to see if there is any room for cooperation before just forking?

Please provide an explanation for why each package you are proposing needs to be forked. With so many packages, it might be easier to use separate bugs.

I feel this needs wider discussion among the Ubuntu project. Maybe you could post to the ubuntu-devel list. Unfortunately the list is moderated, so you might need to ask in IRC #ubuntu-devel for your post to be let through.
