I think RFPs are all but useless, and that an ITP does not automatically translate into an RFP anyway - a stale ITP may mean that the proposer is no longer interested in the package at all, not that they want someone else to package it because they've run out of time. So I would propose closing stale ITPs outright, not converting them to RFPs. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
