Hum, my name cited here in a negative way. I didn't expect this. > If an RFS needs a ping, the chances are that the original RFS was > unsatisfactory, uninteresting or incomplete. If an RFS needs a ping, it may also be because a potential sponsor has asked to be pinged before.

I've been told: * "That's always a very good things to do qa upload." * "(...) ping me and I'll review/upload." * "Thanks for taking care of an aging package, too..." Furthermore, upon doing a QA upload of gphotofs [2], Patrick Matthäi found it interesting enough to become the package's maintainer.

If a person simply asked to be ping'ed, then I don't think that the ping is "ridiculous". Could you elaborate on that? Also, my descriptions of the packages or my intentions are almost always verbose and I know how they could be not informative. I would also appreciate if you could elaborate on this. If you think that my work is "unsatisfactory, uninteresting or incomplete", then, please let me know, and I will just go away and do other things. I only started working on Debian since I am a long time user (for more than a decade) and I wanted to share the fixes that I've done and what I could improve. If, OTOH, they are "unsatisfactory, uninteresting", then, please, tell me and I will just shut up and do other things. I pray $DEITY to put love and understanding into your heart.
