I think a two-maintainer rule is a bit artificial and perhaps the wrong solution. Taking a cue from teams that work well in Debian (Gnome, d-i, etc) indicates that somewhat larger teams with a common goal and a fairly large set of packages under their umbrella will work in practice. This provides the opportunity for autonomy (someone can take ownership of a package within the team) but also a cohesiveness and a known set of people to turn to when you're in need. It's pretty simple to found such a team too. All it takes is some interested people and an alioth project. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
