Hi, I'm going to be making some of my time available to review packages.
So, I'm primarily interested in looking at work that fixes release-critical bugs, security issues, and just regular bugs as well (i.e. non-maintainer uploads, NMUs). So, if you're the bug fixing type, this is for you. I am however not very interested in new packages per se, and will not be spending much time on that. For release-critical bugs, the best place to get started is here: http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/other/testing.html For security issues, the best place to start is either the debsecan tool (i.e. the debsecan package), which tells you which issues are currently unfixed on your current system, or the sid security-tracker: http://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/release/unstable Also, helping with plain-old security triage is very useful as well, and may lead you to packages/bugs that need fixing (including possibly stable updates as well): http://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/data/report So, if you're interested in doing the kind of work that helps improve existing Debian packages and helps make progress toward the next release, then please start with the above and make sure to include "[NMU]", "[RC]", or "[SEC]" as appropriate in the title of your sponsorship-request bugs. I will be specifically scanning only bugs including those terms in the subject. Best wishes, Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
