I have experience developing Django applications, and would like to try my hand at this. Thank you for describing the feature well, Paul. I'm a complete newcomer to the ‘distro-tracker’ code base though. Scrutiny of whatever I produce will be much appreciated!

My understanding, from a brief browse through the source code, is that yes that's what a lot of content in ‘distro-tracker’ is: scheduled jobs populate the database by querying other services. The patch information would IIUC gather all its data from the remote services Paul enumerated. > If so, we should standardize a patch information exchange format. > Ideally, something that is derivative agnostic. I agree with Paul that we don't need to wait for that; a first implementation can be Debian-specific, and we'll see how well it serves when used in anger. -- \ “We must find our way to a time when faith, without evidence, | `\ disgraces anyone who would claim it.” —Sam Harris, _The End of | _o__) Faith_, 2004 | Ben Finney <bign...@debian.org>
