Just to clarify since some people might not be aware of release
terminology: "offering hints" here doesn't mean "giving hints that you
want to be a release person" but "giving information about which
packages to hint into testing" (the testing scripts need some help
[manual hints] sometimes, e.g. when packages have to move to testing
at the same time).
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2004/06/msg00029.html is an
example (just one randomly grabbed from the archives). See
http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/hints/ for more information,
especially http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/hints/README
