And truth be told, I sometimes forget about bugs too, without a ping. My concern as a maintainer is that in case of a bad NMU, it shouldn't add any unnecessary burden to me. If it is very easy for me to remove the upload from DELAYED (even if I'm not a DD, and don't have access to gluck), that would be fine with me. Alternatively, if DELAYED requested a confirmation from the NMUer when the NMU reached 0-days (so that inaction by the NMUer resulted in no change, rather than resulting in a possibly bad NMU going into the archive), that would be fine with me too. As long as I don't have to depend on other people to get rid of the NMU, or to make a no-op upload, or to jump through similar hoops. -- Hubert Chan - email & Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA (Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net) Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
