The emphasis on team maintenance is good, it will lessen the demand on other sponsors and mentors. So it would be good to advise the use of the existing Debian teams for inclusion into Debian. "Ubuntu does virtually all package maintenance in teams. If your package is related to any of the existing teams within Debian, work with that team to get the package uploaded to Debian. If there is no team already, you should consider starting a new team within Debian (e.g. at Alioth) for any package which is likely to have a significant number of bugs or other maintenance overheads (like architecture-specific issues)." Wording can be improved, this is just off the cuff. > I'm sure our documentation will have to be updated, but if you could > have a look at the snippet about Debian and give me your feedback, I'd > appreciate it. > > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages#NEW_packages_through_Debian (Why does wiki.ubuntu.com take forever to scroll in epiphany?
