Hi.
As I'm very new to both this list and the people with write access to
the web pages (as a translator)[0], I have some questions on "good
behavior" and will be thankfull if someone can point me in the right direction.
(If I use any offensive wording, please consider that I'm not a native
speaker and interpret it in a non-offensive way :))
My questions are:
- Who is responsible for the www.debian.org pseudopackage on the BTS?
This means: Who decides what bugs to be tagged wontfix, moreinfo,
help, done, what to be merged?
patch seems to be clear, it can be used by everyone.
- Who decides what patches from the BTS should be applied?
This is particular interesting for me, because I submitted a few
patches in the last weeks, and for the most I get no answer in any
direction.[1]
- Who decides who is 'who' in the first and second question? (Whow,
that's a nice sentence ;))
- How should someone interpret silence after suggesting changes to the
webpage? As 1) agreement, 2) rejection, 3) "no one has time, so wait".
There are also some bugs in the BTS with no responses at all. It is
worthy to produce patches for this bugs or are they implictly marked
'wontfix'?
Thanks in advance,
Frank
