This is one of the points that's up for discussion for future mentors development. On a related note, on OFTC in #debian-python they have a bot that echos commit logs from their SVN to the IRC channel so you can follow along in real time what's being uploaded. Something like that for REVU and #ubuntu-motu would be nice. > I hope that the next iteration of REVU will be moving from REVU to > Launchpad and handle the debian/ parts of packages through bazaar, but > that might be way to advanced for now. I hope it doesn't myself. Embedding ourselves further into Ubuntu/LP unique tools only separates us more from Debian and makes collaboration harder. Today if I have a new package the difference is generally release/version and dput mentors versus dput revu. All the other packaging tools are common. This is a good thing IMO.
