You get in contact with us when we reject packages.

The website http://www.debian.org/intro/organization lists us as "FTP Archives" and then splits that into "FTP Master" and "FTP Assistants". > Something like "Archive management team" or so? Whatever. "The holy, untouchable, always-right (even if they aren't), beloved Wizards of the Debian Archive.". (Okok, a little too long. Drop the last dot. :) ) </joke> > Of course, to keep the word "master" somewhere, we could have > something like "Archive Master" "title" or something? We do need a little seperation, as we have two roles with different rights. > Thoughts? Flames? Knives throwing? I don't see a big gain in renaming the role, besides the work to change all the places where it's written down. Ok, technically we would be the "http/rsync/ftp Archive [Master|Assistants]", but then people that get in contact with us should usually know what we are. Anyway, if people really feel strong about this, I couldn't care less, as long as the new one is something clear. -- bye, Joerg <mhy> Ganneff airlines: departing from a window near you -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
