This proposal sounds reasonable. Last I chatted with Luke F, the
"development platform" had migrated to Fedora.

Ah, now I see that "Socket" is proper. Previously I saw an ArchLinux
wiki entry[0] and a Gentoo bug report[1] with an attached patch, but
those apparently are specific to their bluez configurations.

Is it "Source" or "Socket"? I don't have machines locally to verify,
and there is conflicting documentation.

Re: Dropping i386 non-PAE as a supported kernel flavour in Precise Pangolin

Given the points in this discussion, I think that it's reasonable to
propose that a non-PAE kernel remain supported for 12.04 LTS. At some point
the maintenance burden on the Canonical kernel team far outweighs the
common use case of current minus three years of computing hardware.

Perhaps a few developers could add further refined tags so that we have a
better sense of which source packages to prioritize? I feel we've been doing
as much anyhow.

I echo Chase's opinion in this regard; we should remain flexible in
adapting our approval processes.

The only thing I add is that we should be cognizant of building a
timeout into the process using Launchpad so that applications don't
"spin indefinitely," e.g., "the stale five-digit Launchpad bug
report."

I've always approached reviewing (and/or sponsoring) as taking on any
additional burden, because I interpret reviewing to mean "gathering as
many contributors to FOSS as possible." Once the bug report is filed,
hopefully with a patch (if not, I generate the patch), I use
submittodebian as necessary.

Because I have sponsoring privileges, I interpret the above as "make
it as simple as possible for a FOSS contributor"...

For those with sponsoring privileges, it helps to have a standard.
Thanks for initiating this conversation.
