If noone in a team wants to commit to a package by adding themselves as in the Uploaders field, it seems that package is team-*un*maintained and that fact should be acknowledged by moving the package to QA team. Like Tobias, I am *not* proposing anything new here, I am reflecting on our current rules for package maintenance in Debian. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
