OK, I created a [EMAIL PROTECTED] email alias with Barry, Raphael and me. I've also created a wiki page with a few links: http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/bapase TODO list: - improve the wiki page. In particular, tell people how to report packages (which info they should include, when it's better to contact MIA, etc) - write something for the next DeveloperNews issue - process the 29 (eek) packages that should be orphaned or removed now (of course, double-checking each of them) -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
