I don't think that it necessarily needs to be the person with the doubt (Steve in this case) that makes the decision. The SRU team is a team in part so that we can hand-off issues from one team member to another and so that we have multiple team members reviewing things. For example we don't require the person accepting the package into -updates to be the same person who accepted it into -proposed. That being said I think it is appropriate to acknowledge the other SRU team member's concerns and document why the action being taken was taken. With the first libreoffice SRU it wasn't clear you'd seen the other team member's concerns. > Now that it's also a snap (which is at 7.x), I believe there won't be > too many deb SRU's left, if any. Do you know if there plans to switch stable releases to using the libreoffice snap?
