It seems like the various groups typically reporting there > would be natural delegates for the various areas on which they report If you mean that they should be delegates for all the packages related to their teams, I don't think that's a good idea. If not an outright conflict of interest, leaving these decisions to the individual teams directly brings the problem of myopia alluded to in my previous message. The point of having a team approve freeze exceptions at all, instead of letting individual developers continue to upload directly to the archive, is to make sure we're collectively on the same page regarding what should be going into the release when; that means the people approving freeze exceptions for packages that land on CDs need to have an overview of the release as a whole. I don't think per-team delegates are the way to achieve this. > (and those groups that had historical delegates ought be encouraged to > participate and report in that forum). Unfortunately, the structure of the release meetings today doesn't scale well to a large number of teams, and the length of the meeting is already a challenge for scheduling. Where there is a need for other coordination within the release team, I would prefer to see this take place via either separately scheduled meetings, or email. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
