Yep, this is definitely the best approach. I was in fact wishing for a mechanism one could interact with in a more light way than having to commit to a VCS (ideally by running a devscript-like command). Using the BTS is not exactly so, but quite, and the advantage of reassigning the bug to ftpmaster.d.o is a groundbreaking argument, because that way we can pass to fptmasters in a single block all the reasons why that package should be removed. ... so, after discovering the nice http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/removals page, I've added the "Helping out" section that describe the workflow everyone can follow to track and request removals. To summarize for those that, like me, were not aware of that: - submit a wishlist bug report against the package user-tagged "proposed-removal" for the "debian-qa@lists.debian.org" user - eventually, reassign it to "ftp.debian.org", retitling it to "RM: ... -- RoQA ..." Now, what I wonder, is what to do with bapase's file pointed out by Lucas. Is it reasonable to keep track of things in two different places (that file and the BTS)? Would it be reasonable to have bapase use the BTS? Cheers? -- Stefano Zacchiroli -o- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.
