Well, those are only comments. m.d.n is fine the way it is, but if people want some of those features I hope my comments are taken in consideration ;-) > > > On 27/07/07, Paul Wise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On 7/27/07, Christoph Haas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Instead of only using dates (not to mention the lack of year) it > > should also display the package version.

I can tell you that it doesn't works as expected, you can take a look at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/ffmpeg-php/ http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kgb/ http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/php-adodb/ Those three are already in Debian and I never received a notification. > > > > I can view the diff.gz files in my browser > > > > > > Can mark comments as 'advocating an upload' > > > > By the way, is there any way to make sure that the person marking a > > comment as 'advocating an upload' is really a DD (or in REVU's case > > UD, if that's how they call them :-/ ) > > Two things that make a DD a DD are the PGP/GPG keyring membership and > the @debian.org address.

I personally don't think it is any useful to be able to browse the whole source tree in the browser.
