Andy, did you end up receiving any signatures from any Debian people and would you want to be one of the named maintainers for the package? I would be happy to send an email sponsoring a request for you to be granted upload privileges as a Debian Maintainer (it is half way to becoming Debian Developer) https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer No, I haven't done anything as regards getting my key signed or taking the first steps to officially joining the Debian project. In reality, I'm already way behind just maintining libmusicbrainz itself to be able to also take on the job of maintaining the package. Although there is a packaging team listed as the maintainer, there also needs to be at least one real person listed as an uploader. I'd suggest (assuming he's Ok with it) that Sebastian lists himself as an uploader on both libcaa and libmb. That is perfectly OK for me. Sebastian, thanks for offering to help out Then maybe I can get my finger out and actually update libmb to work with the recent changes to Musicbrainz's web service, and also address the XML licensing issue. Just in case I've given the wrong impression: Debian is a volunteer organisation. Being a member of the community isn't an obligation (that is even written in our constitution). I still spend more time on upstream stuff than any of my packages themselves. I personally feel it is really helpful to have good developers in the community even if you can't commit to packaging tasks, just as long as you let people know what you can and can't commit to. FYI there is also a mini-debconf in the UK next week: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/Miniconf-UK/2013 and it could be a good opportunity to see the fun social side of Debian and/or get PGP signatures. I won't be there myself unfortunately but I may be around London again some time in December. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Sebastian, thanks for offering to help out Great, hopefully we can make sure libmb, libcaa etc. make it to the next Debian stable as well. Just in case I've given the wrong impression: Debian is a volunteer organisation. Being a member of the community isn't an obligation (that is even written in our constitution). I still spend more time on upstream stuff than any of my packages themselves. I personally feel it is really helpful to have good developers in the community even if you can't commit to packaging tasks, just as long as you let people know what you can and can't commit to. I realise that it's a volunteer organisation. However, I didn't want potentially useful packages to drop out of Debian because I wasn't able to give them the required attention. I'd much rather someone with the time and expertise take over the packaging task, so that I can try to do a better job of keeping the upstream code in a better shape. I'm finally getting back into updating libmb, bringing the schema up to date with the current XML web service. I'll try to ensure it's kept up to date in a more timely fashion. FYI there is also a mini-debconf in the UK next week: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/Miniconf-UK/2013 and it could be a good opportunity to see the fun social side of Debian and/or get PGP signatures. I won't be there myself unfortunately but I may be around London again some time in December. Yeah, I'd seen that. Work is always busy for me coming up to Christmas though, and that coupled with personal and family commitments mean I can't really take time out to get to this sadly.

I just never seem to have time to actually start work on updating the packages for the various things I maintain. More than happy for someone else to take over if they are willing. I'd be willing to help you maintaing the package (we could do this under the Multimedia Team umbrella) or to take it over - whatever you prefer.

The two are related. libmusicbrainz is already in Debian, and I really need to find some time as upstream to update it and switch it to using libxml.

They appear to be the current (?) maintainsers of libmusicbrainz5: I believe they're listed as the maintainers as they had permissions to upload. I think Jon Dowland was the original sponsor of the package, but since then Daniel has become either a DD or DM. It was always envisaged that I'd do the actual hands-on maintenance of the package, with them uploading if required. However, I'm finding it hard enough just to act as upstream for libmb, that I don't think I can realistically manage the package as well.
