Hi Bas, Richard, Lucas, the DEP says: - must use BTS, - usage of DELAYED is recommended. This means that people can opt out using DELAYED, but must post something in the BTS. I think that the problem is not whether the communication is public in the BTS or private, it is that "something the BTS" does not imply communication. One can send a patch to the BTS and upload a NMU without ever asking if it is welcome. Therefore I would much prefer that the DEP clarifies this by writing that the use of DELAYED is mandatory if the NMUer does not ask if the upload is welcome.
