I completely understand your point - but still, it still places an unnecessary burden. Often, when I do NMUs it is because I found a bug I can fix _and_ because I found some available time to work on it. Of course, I don't want to step on your feet, so I ask for your permission and upload to -delayed - and then go on with my business. If I must remember a week later to re-ping for your permission, I might just forget about the bug completely. Yes, that basically speaks of my bad planning habits, but I feel I'm not alone here ;-) Greetings, -- Gunnar Wolf - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
