Also, on a related topic, I want to become a Debian Maintainer,
so I was wondering if now would be a good time to do that. I was
part of the localteam for DebConf NYC, and I've been using Debian
since '99. Me being a DM might make that list of remaining ITPs
that I've posted look less daunting ;-)
Any time is a good time!
Go for it!!
So I guess I should first become a DM, I just need DDs to advocate
for me. My GPG key is signed by many DDs, I have in the past
posted my intro to debian-newmaint (I can repost), I read all the
required reading.
If Debian Maintainer is what you want to be then go for that.
If what you want is to be a Debian Developer - i.e. also the
political aspects of our community, then I see no need to first
apply for DM.
I think I'll ease into DD status via DM. I don't have the time
currently to be fully involved, but I hope to work it into my weekly
routine. Then I'll become a DD.
On a related note, should I be adding "DM-Upload-Allowed: yes" to
the packages that I've put into git.debian.org?
That is separate from above: It depends on who you are working with
in packaging for Debian - if those are DDs then there is no need,
but if they are DMs only, then yes, tag it and have a DD upload at
first.
Well, these would be for packages that are part of pkg-multimedia.
Does that mean "DM-Upload-Allowed: yes" is not needed?
