Please pardon the forwarding. This aspect of the control transfer process should be subject to open review, but apparently I erred in my usage of my MUA. This post should help clarify my intentions (along with the rest of the team's) with respect to kernel maintenance. -- wli ----- Forwarded message from William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> ----- Envelope-to: wli@holomorphy.com Delivery-date: Sat, 22 May 2004 04:06:47 -0700 Date: Sat, 22 May 2004 04:06:45 -0700 From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> To: Jens Schmalzing <j.s@lmu.de> Cc: Troy Benjegerdes <hozer@hozed.org>, Sven Luther <sven.luther@wanadoo.fr>, Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com> Subject: Re: NMU: kernel In-Reply-To: <hhekpc91l0.fsf@alsvidh.mathematik.uni-muenchen.de> Organization: The Domain of Holomorphy User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.5.1+cvs20040105i X-Spam-Status: No X-Spam-Probability: <1% William Lee Irwin III writes: >> Martin has informed me the layout of the team, as he would like it to >> be, is as follows: > [...] >> ports: >> - Troy Benjegerdes <hozer@hozed.org> (PowerPC) On Sat, May 22, 2004 at 12:51:39PM +0200, Jens Schmalzing wrote: > This is the first time I hear about this, so I'm a bit surprised. > Right now, Sven Luther and myself are maintaining the PowerPC > kernel-image packages. At least I intend to keep it that way. My understanding is that the PowerPC port people listed are not intended to maintain PowerPC exclusively, but rather are volunteers for the team with specific interest in PowerPC. I am very interested in following precedents, and that means that you and Sven are not being challenged at all for PowerPC maintainership. You will merely have new helpers with interests in PowerPC, and AFAICT the time limitations they've spoken of are certain to limit whatever they're on about to just that and not any kind of challenge to your maintainership and so on. I apologize for not enumerating the preexisting maintainers of various architecture ports in the list of maintainers being recruited to help with the debian kernel; I erroneously presumed only the new additions would need to be discussed. Thanks. -- wli ----- End forwarded message -----
