Hey people ! I posted this mail in order to have some input ... it would be great if some of you gave their opinion about this proposition I posted a while ago : > we're so many developers that's it's getting difficult to know us each > other and even more difficult to know our respective habits concerning the > way we're doing our Debian job. > > I think that we need a page (possibly a cgi or a page automatically updated > once a day) that would give the maximum of information concerning one > maintainer. This would include : > - information from the LDAP db (name, email, last seen on ...) > - information about the NMU policy that the maintainer has adopted > (timeframe before a NMU is allowed, do i need an authorization to do a > nmu ?, ...) > - the list of packages he's maintaining (yes some maintainer forget > that they're maintaining some packages) with up-to-date statistics for > each package (number of important/normal/wishlist bugs, > standards-version that it does follow, last upload) > - a link to the personnal bug page > - any other information that may be suitable for such a page like > the latest news that must be read by Debian developers (think > about debian-devel-announce) > > With this system, each developer can add his own page on one of his > bookmark and from time to time he can check what he's responsible for and > what he should do in one look. And anyone can check the page of any > developer before doing a NMU, he would be able to see the NMU policy, the > time when the maintainer was last seen in Debian and so on ... it's also a > good way to evaluate the quality of the work one is doing for Debian. > > I may be volunteering to work (one day) on something like that but I fear > that i'll run into problems since I need to get information from various > sources (ldap, bts, packages). Any idea/comment acepted.
