And I still have admin rights on aptitude on Alioth. Even though I'm not that much active in aptitude's development. Here's my proposal: - restore Manuel's commit rights - have both me and Axel watch the aptitude-devel mailing list, not to judge the technical validity of changes, but more following the social aspects - and see what happens... It can't indeed be worse than the current situation anyway. It can be done without "blessing" of the CTTE : after all, I'm admin of the project, this was indeed granted to me by Daniel Burrows, the original aptitude developer....precisely because he feared that him becomign MIA would be an issue. And *I* am the one who granted Daniel Hartwig admin rights *because* he was doing a very useful work to keep aptitude development going on. So, indeed, I think I'm legitimate enough to decide what is best. Still, an advice from the CTTE wouldn't hurt.
