If you'd like to get back to me Echelon information is part of db.debian.org, it's a system that keeps track of when each maintainer has been last seen within Debian (the system follows most of the mailing lists and in particular debian-devel-changes where each upload generates a mail from the maintainer ...).

(1.2) I have noted your name, I'll come back to you later when we'll start working on this, you can also subscribe to debian-qa@lists.debian.org since that's where this stuff will be discussed and implemented. > I believe that to better recruit people for adopting packages, we should > keep track of the skills needed for maintaining each package.

I'm not looking for volunteers who'll take over the packages because they just happen to know the language used to wrote the program. I'm looking for people *interested* by the package, that's why I want to look with the upstream mailing lists and so on.
