no, it won't prevent the drop, this is something I have to remember to check in
today+4days
(I usually sponsor one day after the testing migration, because of this reason)
(I did the upload in deferred/6, I would appreciate you to ping me when the
current one migrates, and I'll reschedule it)

this is something difficult unfortunately :(
the reason is that I can't give you DM permissions for backports-only, and the
maintainer rejected your comaintaining efforts, so it will be a little bit
unfair to give you DM, because you might upload stuff on unstable without
permission
(not by purpose, but errors happens :) )
so, if you want to maintain some other packages/adopt packages/QA upload
packages/NMU, I'll be happy to advocate you as soon
as I see your skills outside the particular btrfs-progs package
(I'm not sure I sponsored something else to you)
so, not a technical issue I would say, but more a political one :) (or both)
You already maintain mcelog, did you get in touch with your sponsor to apply
for DM?
usually what I request is:
- some work/refactoring on orphaned packages (you should adopt some packages to
gain DM for them
or
- ITP for new packages (looking at RFP is also fine)
two/three uploads where I don't have to nitpick/change stuff
get DM for that particular package :)
but in all the above cases, being the maintainer/uploader is something I request
G.
