I learned some time ago the interpretatino of the defintion of collab-maint on alioth was somehow disputed, but for salsa, the Wiki says: "The debian group is for CollaborativeMaintenance (the old collab-maint on Alioth). The group is accessible to all Debian developers by default, who are automatically added with Maintainer access levels. Direct commits to repositories in the Debian group by any Debian developer are implicitly welcome. No pre-commit coordination (e.g. merge-request or mail) is expected." https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa/Doc#Collaborative_Maintenance:_.22Debian.22_group (And I think this is a good thing to have a real collaborative namespace) -- tobi

So just a space to have a repository without having to create an extra project as described on [1]? [1] https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/PackagingProject > collab-maint has been create for collaborative maintenance of shared > packages, so sometimes people (hey, its me!), use that to "team > upload" packages,considering it a global "team" of people. I don't think collab-maint ever used to imply that there all people using repositories in that project maintain all packages as a "team"? Each package had its own group; there is no "collab maint team" (as one can also tell from the "Maintainer" field). Ansgar

Hello, >I have a question about handling NMUs in Salsa. > >Are the rules for NMUs disabled there just because a package is in the >Debian namespace? the salsa.d.o/debian is the new "collab-maint" space...collab-maint has been create for collaborative maintenance of shared packages, so sometimes people (hey, its me!), use that to "team upload" packages,considering it a global "team" of people. I never got anybody angry because of this, and I think I'm not the only one doing it... But in case somebody gets hurt, I think it might be better toa) move the repo into a less "shared" groupb) ask to avoid team uploads. There are a few corner cases to the above... G.
Debian Salsa and NMUs
Hello, I have a question about handling NMUs in Salsa. Are the rules for NMUs disabled there just because a package is in the Debian namespace?
