== TL;DR == I'm missing this kind of information since the beginning. After 2 (?) years, i've learned some policies, like herd:desktop-* is free for all, don't touch herd:base-system and so on. But I did not keep records of every fella granting me full access. As a maintainer and slacker (as flameeyes pointed out), I singularily maintain my share of packages [1] with a rich variety of affection. Less/singular affection (like the miredo/sbin/ip mishap, a package i proxied for a friend), I work on rand maintainer-needed@g.o packages, don't take maint and try to watch bugzie for follow ups. -> just go ahead and do what you think is right Total, regular affection, (cwm, ncdc, ncdu, mupdf (+derivates), llpp, netsurf, jumanji) and basically my inital commits. -> give me at least two days to review changes. Either way, go ahead, BUT I __really__ like being informed about an NMU carried out, nothing sucks more than doing the update and see repoman+cvs reject the update (yeah, work on an fresh checkout blah blah). As an impatient person with an urge to fix things, I often commit on random stuff, after asking or timeout. I'd like to propose three positions to post information about NMU-policy, preferred way of communication, affection to bulk-mail|reports|...|euscan update|KEQWORDREQ - Every dev as person, like an devaway. - Every herd, somwhere in herds.xml - Every Package-category (for project-categories like vim/kde/gnome/) (it'd be usefull to fetch and provide this info as equery meta output). (Yes, I've broken and will break things, my sincerest apologies, I really try hard. Thanks for ssuominen being a encouraging example.) At some point I'm really scared about reactions in the past and avoid certain areas, persons and really basic|widespread stuff like zsh (bug 19924, [2]). my 2 cents.
