ked with the Trac Ticket system could be applied to projects with

I can see that it's going to take me a while to get up to speed on all t
es into the wild. These projects
also represent a good place for non DD users like us to start getting
involved in a low-pressure environment. This means the sponsoring DD is
checking and uploading an already well tested package and has a support
network to refer to. It doesn't involve subverting Debian Policy and
releasing zombies.
My perspective is necessarily limited. Please correct any wrong assumptions.
