Maybe an idea is this. Let the team prepare 2.4 experimental packages and upload them to experimental. If this works out well, and the package are of good quality and bug are fixed in a timely manner, then the team will have proven that it can handle it, and the package can in time be uploaded to unstable. If this is a failure, we can smply forget about the team idea, and revert to the old manner, which as it was in unstable was not influenced with this. This is a parallel of what happened with X, where Daniel Stone prepared single-handledly 4.3.0 packages, and later joined the X strike force with Branden and some others. What do the gnome maintainer think of this, i know there has been some personality clashes between certain of the gnome maintainers and certain other persons, but would you accept such a trial, which would not interfere at all with the packages in unstable, and would make sure we don't abandon a model were we had despite all that was said good quality packages for the unknown that this team model represent ? Also, this would have the double benefit of having a 2.4 version of gnome in experimental (altough it is not autobuilt, but we can do this by hand, as the RM said), while Christian for example didn't wish to maintain such packages. BTW, i think that ideally there should be two maintainer team per big group of packages or X for example, one working on the current version of the packages, and the other preparing for the next version and uploading to experimental.
