Everybody have access to the resources used by the testing security team. If you start submitting updates there, I am sure your effort will have positive effect. There is no reason for you to wait for a debian.org domain name. If you want a new APT repository, you can create it anywhere, and if it proves to be a good idea it can be made available as test-sec.debian.org or something similar some time in the future. The information about the testing security team is available from <URL:http://secure-testing.alioth.debian.org/>, and the subversion repository used to track security issues is publicly available. Patch submission into BTS can be done by anyone, and NMUs can be prepared by anyone for review and upload by any Debian developer. I am convinced several of the Debian developers in the testing security team are willing to do uploads. And, when the issue is completely investigated and the patch is available, the work left for the stable security team will be much reduced. :) So, no need to wait, just go ahead. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
