Hi, More and more we're getting bug reports asking for the removal of packages not from their maintainers or you guys but from random people who often aren't even developers[1]. The problem is I'm not comfortable with ftpmaster making the decision of whether or not to remove the package[2]. So... I was thinking we could either:
(1) reassign the bug to qa.debian.org (2) reassign the bug to the package (3) close it Personally, I think option (1) is the best bet. You guys can close it, reassign it back to f.d.o if you agree with the removal, reassign it to the package or whatever you feel is appropriate. At the very least you'll be alerted that the package is issue-some enough for someone to have tried to get it removed. Whereas if we do option (2), it's presumably as good as option (3) since if the maintainer were reading and/or acting on his bugs, the request for removal never would have come in. So would (1) be okay with you? Or do you have any better ideas? -- James [1] e.g. #175757 [2] On non-legal grounds, in any event.
