+1 for this policy change too,
I went through the same hurdles & thinking progress, but it's much fresher in py head because I m only contributing to DPT since 1/1/2024, doing exactly what I said I would do on my membership application mail.
Before this talk happened I would not have recommended anybody to join the team.
I m glad it is being resolved.
Greetings
+1 for this DPT policy change.
When I started to contribute I received these kind of comments that made
me think if I could really start contributing to Debian. As time went by, I learned to read first who is the maintainer of the package before read the bug reported, no matter if the package is (apparently) under the DPT umbrella.
