That's the way to go. That's what I suggested as well. And it's very similar to the discussion we're currently having on debian-qa (even if the motivations are different): http://www.ouaza.com/wordpress/2005/07/17/how-to-handle-unmaintained-packages-with-few-users/ Which alioth project do you intend to use ?

Sure, having worked regularly on several packages already integrated within Debian counts during the process of becoming a DD. > [0] I believe the current logic of "package sponsoring" to be broken: > The "Maintainer" field of a package indicates who is ultimately > responsible for the packaging for Debian - signing packages not built by > Debian developers distorts this.

The DD always rebuilds the source package after having checked the packaging.
