I don't have a strong view: feel free to just drop this patch for now if you 
feel it needs more discussion but the others are ready to merge.

Since the chez-scheme-for-racket package inherits from the chez-scheme 
package, any change to the chez-scheme package will affect racket, racket-
minimal, and racket-vm-cs.

I could certainly imagine having a Chez team that doesn't necessarily care 
about Racket. Likewise, in both languages, I imagine there could be people 
interested in packages that use the language but who wouldn't necessarily be 
interested in the packaging of the compilers and run-time systems themselves. 
But, since no one else has signed on and I've made the majority of changes to 
both files in the last two years, designing a more fine-grained team structure 
seemed premature.

I guess I've also thought of teams as less "would way in on" changes and more 
as "would like to be CC'ed about" them. I'd rather get a little more email 
than miss relevant changes (even though I can't keep up with the whole patches 
mailing list).

-Philip
