What makes you think that this is the kind of behavior that I will adopt? Please don't without giving me the opportunity to do maintenance work. Also, the fact that I'm introducing myself and asking what the team rules is a good sign that I really do intend to do team work, and integrate with whatever your work-flow is. > (which might be the situation at hand > given zigo just joined and we don't have any history); so please at > least try to get in contact with the uploaders first (isn't it xnox?) I did and received no reply. See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=699147 which is what made me ask in this list, as I really need the module to be updated (it's a build-dependency of other things I maintain). Now, I will continue to use SVN for the modules maintained inside the team, but I don't think I will put my currently maintained python modules in SVN, as I prefer Git. IMO, it's not very nice that you don't at least give the choice, and impose an inferior VCS, especially considering that most (in fact, currently *absolutely all*) upstream authors of the python modules I maintain are using Git (and github), which makes it quit convenient to use Git. Is there a valid reason despite history? Is there a chance that this rule may be reconsidered? It'd be really nice, as I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one happy with such decision.
