Would you be so kind as to update the wiki https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Development to clarify what front-desk needs to do / not to do?
I'm not sure what the workflow is (notify maintainer and add to dla-needed.txt stating so? not add to dla-needed until maintainer acked? also how to detect when a package maintainer changed and hence lts-do-call-me needs to be updated / new maintainer asked for their preference?). Last, do we drop 'lts-do-no-call'? Cheers! Sylvain
