Bits from the NM Process



Hello,

time for some news from the NM process.


New Front Desk member
---------------------

After having been FD assistant for some time, please welcome Xavier
Oswald as full FD member!


New Front Desk tasks
--------------------

Front Desk has also picked up a few more tasks, relieving the Alioth
admins from approving requests to join the collab-maint project [CM],
and DSA from approving requests of temporary porterbox accounts for
non-DDs [GA].


We want stronger keys
---------------------

Following an announcement from keyring-maint [KM]:

  Anybody who is currently a DD or DM, or that has started his
  application towards becoming one, will be allowed with whatever key
  they currently have - But effective October 1st, no applications for
  DM or DD should be processed with anything less than a 2048R
  SHA2-capable key.

If you are already in the NM process, have a 1024D key and are planning
to upgrade to a stronger key, now is a good time to do it: if you get
the stronger key in the DD keyring right away, there won't be a need to
bother keyring-maint with a migration later on.

Your AM or Front Desk can assist with finding other DDs near you or with
tips on key migration.


General Resolution: Debian project members
------------------------------------------

At Front Desk we are all anxious to see what the outcome of the current
[GR] will be: please don't forget to vote!
