There was a problem with that timing a couple of weeks ago -- we rsynced the Maintainers file while dinstall was still running, so the copy was always 23 hours out of date. Maybe this was what happened to these bugs? If you encounter a delay in BTS recognizing you as a maintainer of a package longer than 24 hours, please inform [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that we can look into what's happened to the Maintainers file. -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
