Hi, * Andreas Tille <andr...@an3as.eu> [2024-02-27 09:05]:
Since I consider the current situation as demotivating for newcomers as well as long standing contributors I would like to suggest to drop this "weak statement of collaboration" option from policy.
+1 from me.
I guess the motivation behind the weak collaboration model is that some packages have hidden "gotchas", which a casual team uploader might not know. For instance, pygit2 is one of multiple libgit2 language bindings which all need to be upgraded in lock-step when a new upstream version is released.
Instead of restricting collaboration, we could let policy encourage maintainers to state such constraints in debian/README.DPT and ask team members to check that file before they team-upload.
