(reading it as the plural "you"...) I share Lucas' concern of you redefining the rules of the "debian" namespace at Salsa. For me, the concern is not tied to specific packages. I have used this namespace for 100s of packages to encourage collaboration but with the assumption that "Maintainer" and "Uploaders" still have a meaning. By using the "debian" namespace, I did not mean to invite anyone in Debian to do *uncoordinated* uploads (it has happened once, about a week ago, and that took me by surprise). I encourage more collaboration, but I think it is the wrong approach to casually redefine established constraints like this. Solo-maintained packages has some problems. Team-maintained packages has *other* problems - and shifting packages from solo- to team-maintenance without the explicit awareness of the maintainer is likely to cause confusion and problems. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
