how to find out the sponsor of an upload?
How can I find out who sponsored a particular upload? (I only need to do it by hand, not an automated lookup.) I expected that I could locate the upload announcement on debian-devel-changes, then verify the signature to get the key ID, and look that up. I got a key ID, but can't find out whose it is, suggesting it's not in the keyring... Now I'm confused. It would be useful if this information was recorded somewhere, especially as dak has to verify the key on uploads anyway. As an aside, db.debian.org only allows searching by whole fingerprint, not key ID. thanks Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

You need to rsync the actual keyring from keyring.debian.org::keyrings if you want to know who uploaded. It would be useful if this information was recorded somewhere, especially as dak has to verify the key on uploads anyway. If you have a recent keyring, then who-uploads will show you that information.

Hi, How can I find out who sponsored a particular upload? (I only need to do it by hand, not an automated lookup.) My favorite way is to go to the maintainer's qa page, http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=hamish for example, move the mouse over the version number and look at the tooltip which shows up after a few seconds.

The DDPO method is also useful (although it only reveals the login of the uploader, so a visit to db.d.o is often required). devscripts rocks. Thanks Julian.
