You should apply as new maintainer. Here is the way-to-do:
1.2 Registering as a Debian developer
The mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] has to
. say who you are,
. say what is your background, with respect to Debian, Linux and
Free Software in general
. say what you plan to do for Debian GNU/Linux,
If you plan to work on packages, i.e. package new stuff or take
over ophaned packages, you need to make your intent public on
debian-devel and contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] if needed.
. contain your preferred user id on our servers (master and va at
the moment), if you prefer a common login like e.g. 'joey' or
'chris' you should include alternatives
. give us some mechanism by which we can verify your real-life
identity. For example, any of the following mechanisms would
suffice:
* A PGP or RSA key signed by any well-known signature, such as
any current Debian developer.
*or*
* A scanned (or physically mailed) copy of any formal documents
certifying your identity (such as a birth certificate,
national ID card, U.S. Driver's License, etc.). Please sign
the image with your PGP key.
. A phone number where we may reach you in order to give you a
short call covering Debian GNU/Linux. Also some hints about the
timezone relative to GMT could be a good idea, too.
. Your public PGP key.
- It has to be at least 1024 bits big.
- It has to signed with itself.
- We (=pgp-update[2]) will update this key with the one on
public key servers like pgp.net. This means: If it is not
included there we'll send it there.
- We will update the debian keyring with public servers on a
regular basis and exchange keys - in both directions.
If any of the above is missing processing your submission will
take longer.
