Hi Andreas, My email was in no way intended to query the quality of the work done by the ftpmasters, nor was it intended to rush anything or put pressure on anyone - I understand that most people contribute to Debian on a voluntary basis. Being a new contributor of packages to the project, I'm simply trying to understand the process as best I can Google had actually found various messages indicating that a freeze may come in May, and when I saw the graph of packages in NEW, I thought maybe the freeze had started and I had missed it. Can anyone help with the ftpmaster work or do you have to be a DD first? Also, maybe there needs to be some fast-track process from the mentors site into the archive? Maybe there can be a box for the sponsor of a package to tick if he has checked debian/copyright and wants to take on responsibility for that part of the process? The fact that every package goes through a sponsor means that at least 2 sets of eyes have looked at it.
