In the pkg-perl group, at least, it is not at all uncommon that a team member (usually not a DD) works on a package and tags it as ready for upload. And then a DD just comes along, checks it, builds and uploads - without having worked with it. It is not precisely a sponsored upload, but a team activity for both. So, yes, we have usually worked aroud it by adding both the people who did the work and the DD to Uploaders: Still, even if the package is group-maintained, it is good to be able to note who is most familiar or has worked most with the package - And the current scheme does not properly represent it (save for parsing debian/changelog) -- Gunnar Wolf - gw...@gwolf.org - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
