The work has already been done to prepare the additional infrastructure (note that there is no need to *modify* any existing infrastructure), and to prepare this GR. We are enthusiastic to complete the remaining work. The mere fact that change is required shouldn't hold us back from going for what we think is the best solution, if there are people willing to implement it. > * packages continue to be signed with your own DD key > > Why can't we move to this route, with standardized tooling? Well, to put it simply, because it's better to do things using only signed git tags than to do something highly Debian-specific. It is better if new contributors don't have to learn about source packages and dput at all. It is also much more convenient for existing contributors. Take a look at how git-debpush works -- it's really very simple and lightweight. I think you'll like it. -- Sean Whitton
