Besides the fact that Steffen volunteered to do this: There is no need that the ITPer is a Debian Developer. Anybody can issue an ITP. The only point in time when you need a Debian Developer is the first upload of the package. > that nobody else starts on their own version. Is that right? In principle yes. In those specific cases chances are low that some random maintainer might pick a biological package. Announcing your intent here and ITP with a nearly finished package is fine as well. > Also, who edits the package info on the website? You mean the info given at http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio#ampliconnoise ? This is in SVN in tasks files[1]. I'd volunteer to do the change if you would send me a patch. I usually watch the commits so I see if you inject something and add this info. > I will commit to SVN > in short order, of course. > > Some blurb: > ------------------------- > AmpliconNoise is a package of applications to clean up high-throughput > sequence data.
