I agree. Complete silence and no feedback is a real problem when it happen, and only worse if it is an official debian role failing to communicate. But I believe things are improving a lot when it comes to the ftpmaster role, and have great hopes that Jeroen is part of the solution. :) >> Maybe, if one would reply to all mails you send out, one wouldn't >> have time for ANY other Debian work. No-one is asking anyone to reply to the wast flod of emails coming from Sven the last few days. But emails sent to the official debian role ftpmaster should get some kind of response. > Well, sending email to a discussion forum like debian-devel, and > sending email to a debian-role like ftp-master is not comparable, > and i think it shows a profund lack of responsability on your part > even suggesting this. I believe Joroen tried to express that mistakes do happen, and that the ftpmasters can delete email by mistake when their mailbox is filling up. Perhaps this could be solved with some kind of ticket system handling email to the official roles in debian? I'm not sure if BTS is the best option to handle emails to ftpmaster, leader and others. Perhaps request-tracker is a better option? We use it at work, and it seem to do request handling quite well (at least when we added the email administration interface. :). What surprises me is the energy and hostality Matthew Wilcox demonstrates by attacking you in later private emails. A good thing he isn't part of the ftpmaster team (as far as I can see). The ftpmasters seem to have a professional attitude towards the role they have in the project. I wish we could expect that from all the participants in the project. (But you are right, Sven. No-one should have to accept abuse for the work one does as a volunteer in the Debian project. That applies for both you, the ftpmasters, the release managers, all the debian developers and the users. Those unable to behave sivilised against their fellow volunteers should be ashamed of themselves.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
