Hello all, Merge time is a time when new contributors can cut their teeth on Ubuntu development by working through a handy list of packages that need updating - MoM or DaD.
As you all know, there is a vague policy that one should ping the previous uploader of a package before working on the merge for it. I guess that most of you don't really hold any special interest in most of the packages that have your name next to them on MoM or DaD, and that is why I am writing this email. I would like to kindly ask/remind everyone to take five minutes to look down the list at [0] (and the same for main if appropriate) and if you're not especially interested in a merge for which you are listed to say so in the status box next to it. This will allow others to pick up and do the merge without needing to bother you, and will hopefully help to speed things along. I know I waited until DIF was approaching last time before doing a lot of merges as I did not want to keep bothering people - if there was an indication that the merges were open I would have been able to do a lot more earlier on in the cycle.
