Hello,

I decided it would be a good idea to start with the proposal Mathieu
laid out in his email to ubuntu-devel[1] by taking some time to go
through the sponsorship queue and cosmic-proposed.

I remember that Daniel Holbach would send reports to one of these
mailing lists, so I'm going to do the same.

Here's what I worked on during my shift:

Sponsorship and review:
 - Reviewed the initramfs-tools-devices package and left some feedback.
   - https://pad.lv/1788601
 - Sponsored an SRU patching ntpsec's AppArmor profile.
   - Requested feedback on IRC from Seth Arnold and he agreed with the
patch.
   - https://pad.lv/1788102
 - Unsubscribed the Sponsors Team from the apt-btrfs-snapshot
improvement bug and directed the reporter to perhaps help submit changes
to Debian.
   - https://pad.lv/1778256
 - Asked for a debdiff on the telepathy-mission-control-5 patch which
modifies the apparmor profile to make purple-telegram work.
   - https://pad.lv/1708375
 - Unsubscribed the Sponsors Team from the ubuntukylin-wallpapers
sponsorship bug which I sponsored a few days ago.
   - https://pad.lv/1791416

FTBFS fixing:
 - libfm-qt was FTBFS on i386 and armhf due to some MISSING symbols
which I took care of.
   - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfm-qt/0.13.1-5ubuntu6

Proposed Migration investigations:
 - libmongodb-perl isn't migrating because it adds a build and runtime
dependency on libbson-xs-perl, which is fine on build time because it's
an arch:all build, but since libbson-xs-perl is FTBFS on s390x because
of tests, the libmongodb-perl autopkgtest can't pull in the dependency.

I wanted to keep this to an hour and I had already spent some time
dealing with the IRC netsplit that had occurred, so I cut it short there.

I would encourage other Ubuntu Developers, Canonical employees or not,
to pick up a shift here or there to help keep the queues at a manageable
level. Right now we're down to 355 packages in cosmic-proposed with an
average age of 86 days, the sponsorship queue is down to 35 items, and
even after the release is done, we can probably get those down lower
with enough eyes.

This was somewhat spontaneous but my plan is to pick up a shift every
week or so, barring life getting in the way. Join me!
