wait4 used to be a big problem in the past, because the person managing the keyring and creating the accounts was not responsive enough. It was solved a year or so ago by splitting the tasks differently. DAM now reviews the application, and submits RT tickets for the keyring addition and the account creation. Those tickets are processed by DSA (for the account) and keyring-maint (for the keyring), and both of those teams are responsive currently. (the above is my perception of how things work, so I might be wrong, but it's not properly documented anywhere anyway.) -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F |
