If you are listed as the maintainer of a package in main or non-US then you should (IMHO) be considered a member (or maybe "junior member" which should be good enough for these purposes). The constitution makes no reference to "members" only "developers". Do we have any formal definition of what a Debian member is? People who only write doco should be members too... -- If you send email to me or to a mailing list that I use which has >4 lines of legalistic junk at the end then you are specifically authorizing me to do whatever I wish with the message and all other messages from your domain, by posting the message you agree that your long legalistic sig is void. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
