Howdy MOTU friends! I'm seeking clarification on an Ubuntu policy, as it relates to MOTU.
My long standing interpretation of MOTU policies is that all Ubuntu MOTUs are trusted to upload new packages to Ubuntu Universe. Those uploads are processed (accepted, rejected) by the Ubuntu Archive Administrators ensuring that archive policies are met -- licensing, copyright, packaging, name spacing, etc. On occasion, it takes a few iterations. But generally, high quality packages are processed in a timely fashion (thanks, Archive Admins!). I've never understood that a consensus of MOTU is prerequisite for a new package to land in Universe, or am I mistaken? What should the policy be around the introduction of newly-packaged free software directly to Ubuntu Universe (i.e. not via Debian)? Should a consensus among MOTU be pre-required before upload?
