Hi, Heh, thank you for your mail. I have a very clear memory that you were my first sponsor in Debian more than 5 years ago. (http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/feed2imap/news/20050816T174321Z.html) And it has always been a pleasure to work with you (we need to have some beers in FOSDEM).
I think I should clarify my position too, since saying that I'm giving up, and then staying around and leading the discussion on the changes for wheezy is a bit confusing. I'm still deeply pissed off with many things related to Ruby, but the discussion following my resignation post motivated me again to work on *some* things. So I am going to work on things I care about, and that includes those deep changes planned for Wheezy. Regarding my involvement in this team, I will not fall in the trap of being the center point where most sponsorship requests go. I know that it's often very hard to find a sponsor inside Debian, and that sucks. But as a DD, it's also very hard to be constantly a bottleneck, and live with the feeling that we are not doing our jobs due to latencies elsewhere. Spending a lot of time addressing sponsorship requests prevents me from doing the fun things I'd like to do, too. Several DDs (complete list of people who replied in this thread: drazzib, gwolf, roberto, deepak, fourmond, noahm, paulvt) are member of this team, and I hope that they will handle their share of sponsorship requests. Also, I'd like the more experienced members of this team, even if they are not DDs, to dedicate some time to reviews. That way I can know that someone else already took a look at the changes. Additionally, some of them should really consider applying for being a DD. Finally, this is a team. When looking at sponsorship requests, I will prioritize people who are caring about the global status, and not only about maintaining their own packages. I think that's fair. Remember that caring about the global picture is a very important thing in Debian.

I'm not so sure it's that useful. - Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ruby-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
