I understood the new DFSG team tries to adjust priorities to the need of
developers. Thus from your mail arise two interesting questions:
1. Is there any chance to automatically know what packages do influence
the transition? I have made extremely good experiences by making
some ITP bug blocking an RC bug in some other package. This relation
influences the ranking of the package inside the new queue drastically.
You might like to try this.
If you see other machine obtainable signals influencing a transition
please let the DFSG team know.
2. Can you simply make a list of the blockers for the moment as long as
the automated ranking is not implemented yet?
Kind regards and thank you for working on the Haskell stack in Debian
Andreas.
