I agree that we could use more visibility for packages removed from testing due to RC bugs, or packages that are going to be removed from testing. This is something that could easily be implemented in how-can-i-help[1]. I've filed #725819 to remember about it. Lucas [1] how-can-i-help's description: how-can-i-help hooks into APT to list opportunities for contributions to Debian (orphaned packages, bugs tagged 'gift') for packages installed locally, after each APT invocation. It can also be invoked directly, and then lists all opportunities for contribution (not just the new ones). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

From my PoV, more visibility and focus on these bugs is welcome. However, I know from experience that I will not be able to maintain a manual "friendly reminder" (at least not in a timely/reliable fashion), which is why I made this a one-time thing. You (as in anybody) are more than welcome to implement a weekly-reminder thing or so. Not sure if people would welcome such a thing on debian-devel, but having some way of at least opt-in on such a reminder/warning would be a great idea. That said, as much as I think it is a great idea I cannot volunteer to do it. I already have a sufficient "d-release" backlog ... :-/ Even the current implementation was "out-sourced". On a related note, kudos to Ivo De Decker for being the "Do'er" behind automatic removals! ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I forgot about the deadline due to family release, but, sure, I plan to keep around helping out on the arm* ports or any other related Debian issues.
