- your package will be assigned the next free ID by whoever commits.
(your 2nd option)

From the end-user point it doesn't matter much whether it's 321 or 320
as long as it stays the same after being merged. Although I'm still of
the opinion we should try to **pick** same IDs that other distros use,
but it's already looking desperate for that matter.

But if you have time, please do make a pull request to URL mentioned by
Ralph and Aaron.

I think having some guidance on proxy-maint project wiki page about this
whole acct- thing wouldn't hurt, but it may come a bit too late already.
