Hi everybody, my name is Michael Hall and I've recently joined the
Community team under Jono as the Upstream Liason.
As part of my new position, I wanted to hear about how Ubuntu developers
are communicating and working with their upstream maintainers,
specifically Debian maintainers since they are a particularly special
upstream for us[1]. So if you do any work on packages we derive from
Debian, please take a moment to answer some or all of the following
questions:
Do you know the upstream maintainer for the packages you work on? If
so, how well? If not, do you know how to find out?
How often do you communicate with upstream about changes (either bug
fixes or enhancements) being made to their packages? And when do you
start that communication, before the work is done or after?
How do you feel your contributions have been received upstream, both my
the maintainers themselves and the larger upstream community? Do you
get positive, helpful feedback in your communications with them?
