Sounds fine. Although I would use different wording; I think the strict definition of "ftpmaster" doesn't match with "whoever processes NEW". How about: "... may be performed by any of the developers (however, moving packages in distributions other than "unstable" or "experimental" may still require approval by the corresponding Release Team and/or by the FTP Archive Team)" -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
