What about "our" (in terms of a team) patches? I wonder why you come up with the idea of applying "own" patches. I have addressed some issues[1] in the packaging which are not addressed since >1 year as far as I can see and without testing the package should generate several lintian warnings. This is plain Debian packaging stuff and IMHO it would be rather sensible if people who are admitting to have no time would give people free hands to work on such open issues. If something might happen against your intention (you have proven an impressively quick response time with your current answer) it is quite simple to revert. > The most important part of working together in a team is communication and > mutual respect, not "the last person to commit wins". </pet peeve> I understand working in a team that anybody can bring things forward. I consider it bad leading if you stop people from working in advance instead of inspecting their commits and tweak (rewert?) if needed. Your lose / win terminology implies a conflict / fight which I fail to see and my experience has shown that it brings things forward if you encourage people to do something. Kind regards Andreas.
