I don't think that it is really necessary to be a DD to work in the utnubu team. The thing is this: Debian requires a way higher quality level on packages submitted, and Debian requires commitment to the packages (i.e. you have to care for the package and solve bugs, take care to get them into testing and so on). This is from the ubuntu POV "unnecessary" overhead if you just want to get your package into the next ubuntu release. So just uploading random packages to debian wouldn't solve the problem. You need to prove first that collaborative maintenance would work inside debian. There has been a proposal by buxy even on this list about that, and I think it does work, but the proof is yet to be done. Nobody argues that it does work for ubuntu, though. Nevertheless, I see that REVU is constantly full, and the rate of submissions is way higher than the rate of package we can process. So I think we should encourage more people to try to get their packages into debian, so that we get them via auto sync. This requires some commitment from the submitters though. -- Reinhard Tartler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
