It would have been nice if you'd done such an inspection before you uploaded and wasted the ftp-team's time doing multiple reviews.
I fully agree. I don't think it's a bad thing at all to thoroughly check the package, even for minor problems. I do that myself when sponsoring packages from mentors and I am very glad for the hard work the FTP team does actually reviewing that huge list of packages that is constantly in NEW and not just passing them through.
Conveniently, you have elided the actual rejection reason from your message to -devel and gone off on a rant about about something that was raised as a reasonable question.
Yep, this is otherwise just an unbalanced, unreflected rant. If you want to kick off a discussion, please let us actually know what the FTP team's answer was.
If you would prefer we not ask the maintainers questions when we have them, perhaps you would like it better if we put such packages aside and leave them in New until we have time to fully research them?
Absolutely. People who think that packages in NEW should just be passed through and accepted into the archive haven't really understood the point of the NEW queue.
Please just answer the question, fix your package, and quite harassing someone who's trying to do work that's important to the project and doesn't need your demotivational speeches.
Adding to this. I know Paul personally very well and I don't think that he'd maliciously reject a package. He takes his job as an FTP master very seriously and I am pretty sure that he is also not leaving "cheap comments" but rather suggestions to help improve the package and get it into shape for the archive. If he rejects a package, there is a very good reason why he did so and there is certainly also a reasonable explanation that he provided. Cheers, Adrian -- .''`.
