I think this is not the only case of 'issues' with someone not doing the work he has volunteered to do. Aren't there guidelines/policies in Debian on how to deal with such issues?

Considering that James' reluctance to do the work he has volunteered to do is a recurring issue in the Debian project, and that this issue has not yet been addressed by the new DPL who was elected in the hope that he would try solving some of our most pressing issues, I can understand Chip's train of thought.

Please, do not do this. "The project" is to large and fuzzy to have any interest, but there are several developers and members of the project who have interest in fixing the flaws and problems within the Debian project and I am one of these. Packing up and leaving just because a few vital bottlenecks haven't been dealt with in Debian is not a solution. If the keyring maintainer is too busy to do updates in a timely manner, we need to reinforce that part of the project by putting more people on the task. I hope the DPL team is able to put some focus on this, to solve it quickly, unless James Troup find assistants with more time himself. Your report is not the first one regarding slow keyring updates, so I know you are not alone here. We need to work together to solve the problems in Debian. Leaving in anger do not help much. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm sorry to hear that you think resigning is the only option. I don't actually have anything to do with keyring-maint, Branden just wasn't sure how to deal with your inquiry and asked me if I could help in some way. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

At the very least I am sure you would find several of them willing to sponsor your upload.
