I agree that this might well be frustrating. However, I also oppose to any measure to increase the new queue throughput until we figured out how to also get *rid* of DDs. Our project is too large; we can't just keep growing. I think post-etch we should take steps in three areas, in the following order: - a procedure to retire inactive developers on a regular/automated basis. - a break-up of levels of contribution. Not all DDs need write access to the archive; we must, however, avoid a 2/3-class society. What we need is something like Enrico's debtags web frontend for people who contribute certain aspects to multiple packages at once (like translations, logcheck, etc). The data accumulated there are then automatically submitted/made available to the package maintainer. - improvements to the NM queue to get people set up with accounts and all needed rights ASAP. Bastian, I am sorry for your frustration. All I can ask is that you please be patient. If your sponsor does not have the time to work with you in more or less real-time, consider asking for more help on debian-mentors. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems NP: The Cooper Temple Clause / Kick Up the Fire, and Let the Flames Break Loose
