I think that's a great change. Could you file a bug (wishlist priority) with that information so it doesn't get lost in email land. I think the most appropriate pseudo package is "www.debian.org", but I'm not sure *exactly* how mentors.d.n fits into the project so you might email supp...@mentors.debian.net first. Alternative prose might be: "You will be shown a RFS (request for sponsorship) tempalte that you can send to the debian-mentors mailing list to draw attention to your package. You should request to be CC'd on replies, as CCing is not normally done per the Code of Conduct (http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct) for Debian mailing lists." Alternatively, we might just modify the template to include the text: "Please CC me on replies, as I am not subscribed to the list." and actual subscribers will clearly see the incorrect statement of fact and remove the line. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
