--- Begin Message ---Package: developers-reference Severity: normal Hi, while the whole process of retiring is mostly well documented, I felt somewhat insecure what's the right way to inform the account managers of my retirement. The current wording is: > Notify the Debian key ring maintainers that you are leaving by opening a ticket in Debian RT by sending a mail to &email-keyring; with the words 'Debian RT' somewhere in the subject line (case doesn't matter). The confusing bit (for me) is the request to just sent a mail with the words "Debian RT" which is somewhat like confirming a mailinglist subscription but doesn't really feal like the right way to open a ticket. I guessed that the mail should actually contain a *request* to lock my account / move it to emeritus state and to include my account name, but that isn't really clear from the wording as _seemingly_ it puts emphasis on some technical detail of the process (spam protection?). I guess the devref could be somewhat more fool-safe (;) by changing the wording for example like this: "Notify the Debian key ring maintainers that you are leaving by opening a ticket in the Debian RT by sending a mail to &email-keyring; with the request to move your account to emeritus state. Please ensure to include your account name in the mail and the words 'Debian RT' somewhere in the subject line (case doesn't matter)." Second, I signed my mail to the RT with PGP/MIME, which I learned from Gunnar Wolf is troublesome because RT mangles the mail. I'm not sure if the mail needs to be signed anyway (the devref doesn't say so) but if it should, then noting that technical restriction could probably safe DAM some time. :) If it is required, I'd change the above suggested wording like this: "Notify the Debian key ring maintainers that you are leaving by opening a ticket in the Debian RT by sending a mail to &email-keyring; with the request to move your account to emeritus state. Please ensure to include your account name in the mail and the words 'Debian RT' somewhere in the subject line (case doesn't matter) and that you are using inline-signing instead of PGP/MIME (which is mangled by RT)." Hope, opening the ticket is helpful. Best Regards, Patrick
