Hi, Thanks for sending me this. Here are some additions that I think you'll find useful. Also, you're welcome to submit this to the Policy list. Either way, I second the proposal.

Any interested maintainer who is willing to do an upload of an orphaned package is welcome to ask on the DQAG list for permission to do so, on behalf of his or DQAG's. > - Unimportant packages: > If there's still no-one volunteering to take > care of them > after this delay, they'll be dropped in the > section 'project/orphaned'. They will be listed on the WNPP page as orphaned by the DQAG. Packages that don't get a maintainer for one year or two Debian releases will be withdrawn completely from the distribution. > [Are these delays too long/too short?] [No, just fine :) ] > saying which Package_Version they will upload, > and the serial numbers of the bugs fixed by the upload. [change this to:] saying which package and of which version and distribution will they upload, and naming the exact bug reports that will be marked as fixed after the upload. > However if DQAG members make 3 consecutive bugfix uploads with > still no action > from the package maintainer, then the 'Maintainer' field will be set to > "Orphaned Package <debian-QA@lists.debian.org>", and the package will > be considered as > orphaned (this will be announced on <debian-devel>). [change this to:] However, if DQAG members make 3 consecutive bugfix uploads within two months, with still no action from the actual package maintainer, then the 'Maintainer' field of the package will be set to "Debian QA Group <debian-qa@lists.debian.org>", and the package will be marked orphaned This will be announced on <debian-devel@lists.debian.org> and sent to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. > - work on "stable" and "unstable" distributions: [this is unfinished?] -- enJoy -*/\*- http://jagor.srce.hr/~jrodin/
