Definitely, and you also don't want to use urlopen() in any web request, that doesn't scale... we would be hammering ftp-master to retrieve the same information over and over. And we have our own code to retrieve data over HTTP (get_resource_text) so we don't use urlopen(). Herbert, you need to come up with a good design before you get into coding. Here are some rough guidelines: 1/ you want to handle all the processing of the dm.txt file in RetrieveDebianMaintainersTask, you want to parse the "dd_fpr" variable that we already extract 2/ you want to come up with a way to store that data in the database, I would probably opt to add a JSONField to the DebianContributor model so that you can store a hash associating "package => granted_by". 3/ then you need to modify the template and the associated context to display that information I also don't know why you picked this bug report to start your journey into distro-tracker. It's not a trivial issue to fix and the added value is relatively low compared to other missing features. I took the time to highlight easy bugs with the newcomer tag, maybe you should start with some of those? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;package=tracker.debian.org;tag=newcomer https://salsa.debian.org/qa/distro-tracker/issues?label_name%5B%5D=newcomer Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Support Debian LTS: https://www.freexian.com/services/debian-lts.html Learn to master Debian: https://debian-handbook.info/get/
