Not really. Most bugs need much knowledge of debian (or the policy), or work on non-i386-platforms, or a recompilation, or mixed. For the last two things it's very much easier if you are a debian maintainer, because you can use the debian machine pool. And the last can only be done by the maintainer or with a NMU (but you must also be a maintainer to do that). > I think the right answer nowadays is to help other developers with their > work for a while and then ask them if they're willing to advocate.

Well, that's a reason for making fixes for packages you maintain. ;-) Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ PGP 1024/89FB5CE5 DC F1 85 6D A6 45 9C 0F 3B BE F1 D0 C5 D1 D9 0C Fachbegriffe des Schienenverkehrs #1 von Marc Haber in dasr Alles wird billiger: 50 % Preiserhöhung für Stammkunden.
