This cycle, Plus One Maintenance will look a bit different from previous cycles. For starters, people may notice that I am now doing this for every month in the cycle, so people participating will always have an archive admin and core-dev to turn to to ask the hard questions, or get things massaged or sponsored.
Also, this cycle has seen us adopt Debian's 'testing' migration machinery to enforce clean transitions and migration from the proposed pocket (where all uploads now go by default) to the release pocket. This doesn't mean that the Plus One mission has changed much, it just means that we now do 99% of our work in the proposed pocket, so that everything lands in release "clean" and ready to go. After much faffing about with new tools and infrastructure, we're confident that we're ready to kick the tires on this and get more people involved in our usual Plus One Maintenance rotations again and, as such, I've put together the roster for this cycle: [December] Adam Conrad Andy Whitcroft Tim Gardner [January] Adam Conrad Chris Arges Micah Gersten [February] Adam Conrad Matthias Klose Michael Still [March] Adam Conrad Colin Watson [April] Adam Conrad Robie Basak If you see that your name is on this list and it shouldn't be, please do let me know. I tried to get confirmation from everyone, but some may have slipped through the cracks. If you're name's NOT on the list and it SHOULD be, absolutely do speak up, and we'll get you onboard. Remember, this is not only a crucial part of our effort to maintain quality in the development release, but also a great opportunity to learn by touching a large number of different packages in the archive. One final note, December will be a short month, as many of us take vacations at the end of the month. This works out fairly well for the kernel people who couldn't commit to a solid month, but if they want to contribute one-off stuff here and there through the cycle, I certainly won't complain. ...
