Thanks Phil and Marc for the feedback!
I updated the intro as suggested by Marc.
I also wrote a new wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/SalsaCI. This is
intentionally a minimal stub that recommends readers to see the README
in the project instead. Feel free to sprinkle links to this page
elsewhere
Hi!
Salsa CI is a great system for all aspiring Debian packagers to test
their packages before requesting review from mentors, or for even
experienced packagers before uploading to Debian.
Anyone with a Salsa account can use it. Simply follow the README at
https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/p
Hi!
I just wanted to announce here that I am a Debian Developer and I have
the capacity to take on one or two more mentees for 2025. For social
reasons, and practical reasons with OpenPGP keys and stuff, I'd prefer
to mentor aspiring Debian maintainers in Vancouver or general B.C.

Hi,
Just for awareness: Debian already has Debcraft, which builds Debian
packages in an isolated Docker environment. It supports both Docker
and Podman, and it also has a bunch of other automation to help do
quick rebuilds of packages after modifications, and compare how the
end result changed, do
Hi!
We've overhauled the README.md at
https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline to be as complete as
possible, yet clear and to the point. If you are not yet using Salsa

to check out what Salsa CI offers, or just review tha
Hi!
A small group of Debian Developers are meeting for lunch on Sept 20th
in downtown Vancouver, B.C., Canada.
If there are any aspiring Debian Developers/Maintainers here on
debian-mentors@ who live close by and want to join, drop me a message
for details.

Thanks for checking. The arch i386 is going away, so it can be
ignored/disabled. Issues with BLHC and reprotest should be fixed if they
are easy. Having them both pass is not a hard requirement.
Most important here is that you checked all failures and there was nothing
else.
I don't have any sugg
Hi!
Checking with a couple of people learning to be new Debian maintainers I
noticed that many were unaware of Salsa CI (
https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline)
What do you recon would be a good place to document it at so new
maintainers learn about it?

Hi!
If you are not using Salsa CI simply because you didn't know about it, then
check out https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline
I will check the Mentor website and look for opportunities to document
Salsa CI better.
I didn't claim that you must use Salsa or CI.
I was just curious to learn is there a particular reason this package is
not using Salsa-CI to validate that all easily testable things are correct?
Cool, latest version indeed is on Salsa

Hi!
I noticed the CI at
https://salsa.debian.org/mdosch/bash-unit/-/pipelines/665767 is
failing on reprotest. If you are unable to fix it, you could mark the
test as 'allow failure' so it won't make the whole pipeline report
failure.

Top 10 reasons you should sponsor MariaDB 10.0 into Debian this weekend:
1) Help Debian stay modern! Debian hasn't had any MariaDB in any
official release yet, while for example Fedora and OpenSUSE have not
only had MariaDB for a years, they now even default to it over MySQL.
2) MariaDB 10.0 has

Dear mentors,
I am looking for a new sponsor for my package "mariadb-10.0".
The package was already once uploaded to experimental, but the sponsor
I had 5 months ago when the package entered the NEW queue has been
unable to continue (too busy with other things) with
Thanks for your interest in the package. I am the submitter and I
haven't gotten any feedback so far on the package, so I assume it is
simply waiting for somebody to have time to review it. It is almost
identical to the current mariadb-5.5 package in Debian, so there
shouldn't be any actual issues

-10.0.
As everything can be compared to existing and accepted mariadb-5.5,
the task of sponsoring my 10.0 should be relatively trivial. In
general the Debian MySQL team is low on manpower, so a new sponsor
here is desperately needed.

likely to inherit from MySQL the position as the worlds most popular
database soon, and a lot of people are going to install it via Debian
and derivatives.

Hello!
I am the packager of MariaDB 5.5 in Debian, which is now in testing. I
have been sponsored by James Page and Clint Byrum and I am thankful
for their efforts. Unfortunately neither can at the moment allocate
more time to review my additional packages.
Therefore I am asking here: are YOU a D
