No, I meant the mails that were proposed to be sent out periodically for packages that don't migrate for one or the other reason. My point here is: mistakes do happen, also in the upload to unstable. And a common way to work around an unwanted upload is a blocking RC bug to prevent migration. Sometimes, this even happens after an intended upload, f.e. when the maintainer considers a package to be not ready at all for the next release. Virtualbox is such a never migrating package. Long migration times are definitely something one should have a look, but they are not a general reason to put pressure on the maintainer. Cheers Ole
