Re: Time delay between RFS messages

(Since last message or since first message in that thread) I am sorry to hear you can't find a sponsor. There is definitively room for improvements left and we're discussing possibilities to improve the situation. The latest plan is to track sponsor requests as bugs instead. Regarding your question, there is no strict rule. Typically people seem to ping every few weeks again. Just don't flood the list with your request and nobody will mind you doing a re-post. If you file a RFS for another time, please make sure your mail reader files a correct follow-up header to point people to previous discussions on your package (if any). Moreover, you may want to consider to ask relevant teams or individuals aside of formal requests to this list. Possibly a developer maintaining packages similar to yours might be interested to sponsor you. Also, certain types of packages are being maintained in teams. In such cases you should consider joining that team. Typically package sponsoring is handled privately in packaging teams. I didn't use RFS before and I didn't find this info in the FAQ. Which FAQ do you mean? I admit, there is room for improvement left on mentors.d.n. But I think this question can be added somewhere in documentation. Yes, my pending change on mentors.d.n will outline the role of sponsors and emphasize communication channels between sponsors and people looking for team. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I think your new intro-maintainers page could probably completely replace DebianMentorsFaq. If not completely then it should be cut down to only cover stuff not covered by the mentors site. Probably the debian-mentors lists page should then be updated to point at intro-maintainers and DebianMentorsFaq instead of just the latter: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/ -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Time delay between RFS messages
Hi everyone, I have a question about time delay between RFS messages. Situation #1: 1) I send RFS message at first. 2) Nobody answer me. 3) Nobody upload my package. Situation #2: 1) I send RFS message at first. 2) Someone reply me with notes how I can improve a package. 3) I update a package in m.d.n. 4) I send reply to mailing list. 5) Nobody answer me. 6) Nobody upload my package. So how long I should wait to sent repeated message in these cases? (Since last message or since first message in that thread) I didn't use RFS before and I didn't find this info in the FAQ. Now I have 5 packages which are waiting upload: http://mentors.debian.net/packages/uploader/tehnick-8%40mail.ru 3 updated packages already in Debian and 2 packages close ITP bug reports. Also I hope that my regular sponsor will back to developing Debian in the nearest future and I will work with him again. But I think this question can be added somewhere in documentation.
