Hi Sylvain, Thanks for taking the time to write this out - the regression-testing/ rdeps point is fair and worth me keeping in mind, I've mostly been verifying build+patch correctness rather than the fuller scope a real security update needs.
On starting here specifically rather than unstable: > I would recommend registering to nm.debian.org (I don't see > ivo/marino/eim there), finishing the process to get a solid > understanding of the packaging life cycle, as well as privileges > giving you some autonomy (at least DM but preferably DD for this > kind of work) :) This is actually aimed at a specific, concrete opportunity that explicitly asks for real stable/LTS volunteer experience alongside DD status - so it's a deliberate starting point, not an accidental one, even if I take your point about the risk profile of jumping straight into security work after 20 years away. Appreciate the honest pushback either way. Ivo
