Maintainer override in bug tracking system
Under "Adopting a Package" the debian developers' reference manual
says (among other things):
If you take over an old package, you probably want to be
listed as the package's official maintainer in the bug
system. This will happen automatically once you upload a
new version with an updated Maintainer: field, although
it can take a couple of weeks. If you do not expect to
upload a new version for a while, send an email to
override-change@debian.org so that bug reports will go
to you right away.
I'd like to do that, but am not yet a sanctioned developer;
do you think I should send that email, or do I really have
to wait? Thanks.
