Bug#750135: Status of #750135 (Maintainer of aptitude package)

2015-03-29 Thread Christian PERRIER
Quoting Tollef Fog Heen (tfh...@err.no):

  It can't indeed be worse than the current situation anyway.
 
 I see where the proposal is coming from, but I'd like to ask you to hold
 off on it a little bit.  I've mailed Daniel and asked him to comment on
 the bug, so hopefully we can have his input soon and get this resolved.


No problem. I was indeed waiting to see comments to my proposal
without doing anything, anyway. I'll follow the issue as well to see
where it goes and help where I can.

Bug#750135: Status of #750135 (Maintainer of aptitude package)

Hi bubulle!

 Quoting Axel Beckert (a...@debian.org):
 
  In the long run I'd like to see even more people working on Aptitude.
  
  But for that, a possessive lead developer or power games are quite
  hindering. IMHO one of the reasons Aptitude's development stalled
  again are those power games we've seen. So I'd prefer a solution where
  people who want to do stuff are also able to do it -- without getting
  harassed by other people involved.
 
 
 So do I. And I still have admin rights on aptitude on Alioth. Even
 though I'm not that much active in aptitude's development.
 
 Here's my proposal: 
 
 - restore Manuel's commit rights
 - have both me and Axel watch the aptitude-devel mailing list, not to
 judge the technical validity of changes, but more following the
 social aspects
 - and see what happens...
 
 It can't indeed be worse than the current situation anyway.

I see where the proposal is coming from, but I'd like to ask you to hold
off on it a little bit.  I've mailed Daniel and asked him to comment on

(Of course, if Daniel's happy with that approach, and Manuel is too,
then I don't think anybody would have a problem with it.)
