Dear Thomas,

Even if you are not yet a DD or DM, you are the maintainer of the
package and you may (and should) request access to whatever you need to
do your work. The limitations are only technical, just think of it as if
you were learning how to drive with someone sitting next to you as in
the French "conduite accompagnée" system.

In particular, you can ask for SSH access to porteboxes. See:
http://dsa.debian.org/doc/guest-account/

You will need a DD to support your request. Best would be to ask your
usual (or last) sponsor.

If you think the bug is in GCC and Doxygen rather than in your own
package, definitely.

If the bug is in visp, file a bug against visp instead, to keep track of
the issue, request help etc.

No, not readily. They need ta ask DSA specifically, just like you. Only
they don't need a DD to support the request.

Kind regards, Thibaut.
