Adopting packages.
Hey ho :) I'm currently in the NM queue, waiting for my key to be signed. It'll be a while, I believe, before I get it signed. It just happens to be that I've moved to within a stone's throw of where my AM works, though it's still across a border. :) Anyways, I was wondering what the QA group thinks about people maintaining packages who arn't capable of uploading on their own. I'm a bit leery about it, to be frank, but I would do well at maintaining at least of of Adrian's Bunk packages. -- .--=-=-=-=--=---=-=-=. /David Barclay HarrisAut agere, aut mori. \ \Clan Barclay Either action, or death./ `---==-=-=-=-===-=---=--='

Thanks for the reply :) So I take it the best way to go about it is arrange with somebody to be a regular sponsor for me? *cough* any volounteers? *cough* ;) -- .--=-=-=-=--=---=-=-=. /David Barclay HarrisAut agere, aut mori. \ \Clan Barclay Either action, or death./ `---==-=-=-=-===-=---=--='

Are these reports for *all* packages in Debian? Looks like it, just want to be sure.
