Hi, I propose that since most devs are asking others to vote for them we remove the whole testing requirement and make promoting to extras-testing something that's at the will of the developer.

Last month, I uploaded some Woodchuck-related packages to extras-devel. I asked on #maemo a few times for people to test my packages. I asked on this mailing list. And, I asked on talk.maemo.org. In the end, most of the testers were people who I know personally and asked to do me a favor and vote for my package. I doubt that they actually tested it. This is a waste of time: it doesn't improve the quality of packages and my time could be better spent working on my package. There is one person who appears to test packages: Harald Schmidt. He has been designated a tester and appears to periodically check extras-testing for new packages. Given this, I propose that we use the following criteria for promoting to extras: - 10 days incubation (unchanged) - maintainer + 1 designated "testers" (e.g., Harald Schmidt) thumbs up or maintainer + 3 non-testers Thoughts?
