Your feeling is right. Scott announced this in a message titled "Sabbatical" in -devel. Not being online right now, I can't grab the archive URL but I think that's enough to find the mail if you're subscribed to -devel. Hint: it should be somewhere between the Ubuntu flamewar and the Andrew Suffield flamewar. Unfortunately, given the neutral Subject I'm afraid it went unnoticed by many people. This probably warrants a clearer announcement, possibly in d-d-a (given the importance of dpkg). This mini team includes people Scott contacted personnally because he felt hey were the most involved in dpkg development recently. These are the people listed in Uploaders for last dpkg upload, namely Frank Lichtenheld, myself, Guillem Jover and Brendan O'Dea. The point is now: how to build a team from this..:-) I think that none of us is in the feeling of keeping the team closed. We obviously need more (wo)manpower and we also need someone leading the whole stuff (if I appear to be stepping as this, please forget about it: I absolutely can't, both for technical and schedule reasons) I think we really should announce all this more widely, in order to avoid any misunderstanding. It is obvious to me that Scott's message is very likely to have been missed by many people. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
