For the moment, I tweaked things to let your upload through.
Thanks Jon. I have only seen a handful of NMUs go by and it didn't occur to
me that those doing them were explicitly allowed to.
ISTM the process works fine as it is. If I happen to have a future itch to do
an NMU should I handle it as I did this one? Or say something on cygwin-apps
beforehand? I don't expect it will be often. I'm totally fine not being on
the "trusted" list for this type of thing.
If you ask in advance, that's possibly slightly less work for me, but either is
fine really.
Maybe I should make things so that all maintainers can NMU orphaned packages.
That seems reasonable I guess?
Maybe Unmaintained except Base (i.e. alternatives crypto-policies) or
"toolchain" defined as cygport and cygwin deps and build deps (i.e. bzip2 cocom
docbook git-archive-all robodoc); maybe also all their deps and build deps, even
Devel and Libs?
Any of us or sourceware accounts could be hacked (possibly even targeted), and
systems used to disrupt Cygwin processes, if someone had some dispute, wanted to
be nasty, to see if they could do it, or made a mistake.
