Good idea, after James' message about we strongly prefers a signed key I have not let any applicants through without a signed key. I generally run through the db.d.o and then try to filter on province/state as well as country. I then might say developers are at "Sydney, Wollongong, Nowra, Strathfield". and let the applicant tell me the closest one: "Strathfield, if not then Sydney". Then I ask the maintainers, only if they agree do i tell the applicant it the maintainers name. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
