Short: I like the idea. I could imagine a lightweight approach: Activate the ~ubuntu-dev (or ~motu) PPA, and use it as "backports-staging" archive. Proposed policy: - proposed package backports should be tracked via a malone bug - any motu may upload there if he feels that a package should be backported, mentioning the LP bug number - the backport teams tracks these bugs and approves backports if "enough" positive feedback from users has been given in the LP bug -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
