I got immediate responses from highvoltage, hlieberman, and ScottK. They will be monitoring #Debian-Med so please let them know on there if something you're working on needs NEW processing. highvoltage also requested a static listing of packages that need their attention. I added a wiki page at [1] for that purpose and linked it from the salsa event page [2]. Hope this helps! I didn't specifically ask but I assume that any packages already in NEW, that would support this effort, could fall under this process. -Olek [1] https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/community/2020-covid19-hackathon/-/wikis/NEW-Requests [2] https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/community/2020-covid19-hackathon
