Well I have to admit I do not agree with Praveen's conception. The
general acceptance in Debian for as long I've been in is that once
you're in the maint/uploaders fields you're responsible of the package
wherever it is in Debian. I even got slapped one day because I made a
mistake in an experimental upload! (but that's extreme crazyness) You
can call for help and now you can state your limited involvement in
debian-security-support, but you're expected to make problems known in
some way. Some even RC-bug their own package to avoid them reaching a
release.
It's very interesting because I've been in this team for quite some time
and I never knew of this.
Now for Redmine I do care about fixes and security as much as possible
(all suites, bpo included), but I clearly cannot be a caretaker for the
huge dependency tree lying beyond (except for the few bits where I
decided to be in the maint/uploaders fields). I occasionally do a fix
when I have time but that's more of the level of oneshot QA upload. I
also check things when my DDPO page turns red (very handy).
Regards.
