Hi Lucas, I just got a couple of your retitling emails and have a couple of suggestions: - I think that it is better to close ITPs instead or retitling them RFPs, otherwise we will perhaps accumulate a large number of inactive RFPs. - 18 months delay may be shortenend to six monthes or 1 year, but I think that 3 months is too short, unless the goal is really to make people close their ITPs. I do not think that ITPs are discouraging people to contribute. In contrary, I hope it helps developers to coordinate their efforts. Some programs need time for packaging, and it would be a waste if two packages are prepared in parallel because of a lack of information. - The automatic email could include a bit more background about where the generator script is, who operates it, which thread or wiki page to read before making more comments, etc. Have a nice day, and thank you for reviving David's effort. -- Charles Plessy Debian Med packaging team Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
