The initial upload might not get an ACCEPT, but later revisions of the package might be suitable for inclusion in Debian. The main aim of the proposal is transparency for all problems getting the package into NEW. Often it isn't clear what happened to a package that was rejected, the proposal makes it easy to find out; just check the bug reports for the source package. It also means the ftpmasters can file separate bugs for each problem, rather than combining them all into one mail. It also means the ftpmasters can easily point out other issues they noticed that don't block the package from being accepted and ensure that those issues won't be forgotten. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
