Well, we do know the security team needs help. What I'd love to see is each port have someone on the security team to handle their specific bugs, binary builds and testing. That might scale better and decrease the overall load on the team. This is all in line with what seems to be the central thesis of the proposal: shift more of the core burden to the porters. Of course, this does demand a lot, but the burden has to go somewhere, and the people currently carrying large portions of it are saying they can't do this any more. > > for ages.

Agreed on the archive space, but I don't know what to do about that. One thing that we've seen lots of is people happy and willing to donate buildd's for their pet arch. I'd imagine those could be converted to package pool space and such. The bandwidth issue I have no answer for though. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
