Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: minor Hi,
I just did a sponsored upload for libgit2 because the DM for it had his upload rejected. Apparently DMs are not allowed to upload to NEW, and this package changes its major version quite often so the binary package name needs to be renamed from libgit2-24 to libgit2-25, etc etc. The concept of DM is supposed to help smooth the process of contributing to Debian and reduce the amount of "paperwork" DDs have to do in terms of sponsored uploads. I'm not sure what this ACL gains us - if a DD has already given a DM upload permissions for a package, this likely *includes* the fact that we trust them to do binary-NEW stuff well. Could we relax the ACL for DMs so that they can upload to binary-NEW? To clarify, of course the new packages would still have to manually processed by the FTP team, just like how it works for DDs currently. The point is to not have it be auto-rejected. X
