Sparc is also still on that bug, and according to the council decision I sited, these arch's are still treated like major arch's. Wrt your comment about x86 and amd64 having agreements that maintainers can stabilize packages on those arch's, I thought amd64 did, but I didn't know about x86. Formal policy says that all stabilizations must be done by arch teams unless you have special arrangements with them [1], so my questions still stand. 1. Should we make it policy that maintainers can stabilize packages on arch's they have access to? 2. See Rich's message in this thread for my other concern; he spells it out pretty well -- what should we do about architectures the maintainer does not have access to? 3. Also, another interesting question has come up in this thread, that of non-binary packages. Should we give maintainers the option of stabilizing them on all arch's themselves?
