Thanks for pointing those out to me, they definitely provide more than half - but not all - of what I was suggesting. The question is, if these tools were extended to cover unblock (which is not always an RC bug), and interested people are keen to dedicate time to the unblock requests or sub-RC bugs relevant to packages they have an interest in, could it be worked into the release team's workflow constructively at this stage? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
