Many MOTUs are busy with updating, syncing, merging packages and fixing bugs. Then there is the sponsors queue, which needs love too. I uploaded a few package from REVU. There were two ways to get my attention: Either someone ask in the #ubuntu-motu channel, when I had time for it or i searched the need-packaging bugs on Launchpad. Which package should I review? I sorted the need-packaging bugs by affected users and found openshot. I think that having a importance indicator would be a good idea. What do you think about promoting the use of "Affects me too" on Launchpad for that? BTW I sponsored only packages, where the packager worked on getting the package into Debian, too. -- Benjamin Drung Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Maintainer (www.debian.org)
