I don't think that it's a matter of right and wrong. In fact, I can think of a few times I wished the ITP owner had left a note about the status. In the past I've come across ITPs that have not been closed after months where it seemed as if the owner had simply disappeared. After asking in the bug if I could take over the ITP, I then received very valid reasons why the work had stalled (and would have stalled no matter who was the owner). I see no reason why adding a note would be "wrong." It seems to me that it could only be helpful. Alternatively/additionally, if you send an RFS, you could include the ITP bug in the CC. -- Andrew SB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
