Hi Wayne, First thanks for your interest in contributing to Debian! This is very appreciated!
Regarding your RFS, unfortunatly this raises an eyebrow or two... Can you please elaborate on the reasons you'd like to maintain broot in Debian? Asking, because there was another package on mentors from another @northeastern.edu today, which might be coincidence, but as both proposed have some kind of oddness (sorry, lacking better words...), for example how both ITPs are filed and the overall impression of the packages... Is there some connection between the two proposed packages we should know about? There was some discussion on Debian channels and one question was if this could be some kind of univeristy assignment? Is it? If so, can you explain the assignement? What are your long term plans with this package? Thanks for answering! -- tobi
