Dear -devel list, (Please forward this email to proper mailing lists if there's other lists that this email would suit in better.)
I noticed that for all bug reports that orphan a package in Debian, a semi- standard paragraph of words will be provided like this: ======== ...Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it. If you want to be the new maintainer, please see https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#howto-o for detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly.... ======== However, https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#howto-o provides almost zero information for an enthusiast that want to adopt the package, i.e. there's no detailed instruction on how to actually upload a package for a person not quite familiar with Debian's packaging workflow. I'd suggest some kind of rewording on the website given that this link has been posted everywhere in different BTS bug reports. Including a link to https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers might be a good idea. Anyway any kind of improvement would be appreciated. -- Thanks, Boyuan Yang
