There is no reason given there. Let me quote: |- most processing of the NEW queue has of late been done by a single |ftpmaster, who has not been actively doing NEW processing this year. I |don't know the reason, and haven't asked; I assume that he has succumbed to |real-world time constraints, and that the other ftpmasters are aware of |this. | |- another ftpmaster has been moving house this month, with much of the usual |network-related pain and anguish that goes with it. | |- the ftpmasters are generally aware that there is a manpower problem here, |as some consideration has been given to a candidate for augmenting the |existing team. I don't know if there is currently a timeline for confirming |him as an ftpmaster, or what steps lie between now and final approval, but |the ftpmasters have certainly not been sitting idly by waiting to be flamed |before taking action. This is basically a "no information is available". I find it notable that this "bits from foo" is the first article of that kind I have ever read that was not being posted by a member of the foo team. IMO, this actually _proves_ the case that ftpmaster is one of the biggest problems that Debian has at the moment, now that the DAM problem has been solved elegantly and efficiently.
