delegation for the Policy Editors



Dear project members,

Great news: after doing great work during the last year, Jonathan Nieder
has agreed to officially join the Debian Policy team. I am therefore
updating this delegation.

The task description is unchanged from the previous Policy Editors
delegation (http://lists.debian.org/20121017195148.GA26024@upsilon.cc).

For more information about the Debian Policy team, have a look at the
team page: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Policy

Policy Editors delegation
=========================

I hereby appoint the following developers as Policy Editors:

- Andreas Barth  (aba)
- Bill Allombert (ballombe)
- Charles Plessy (plessy)
- Jonathan Nieder (jrnieder)
- Russ Allbery   (rra)

Any previous Debian Policy delegation, not explicitly listed above, is
revoked. The delegation is not time-limited. It will be effective until
further changes by present or future DPLs.

Task Description
----------------

The Debian Policy team is responsible for maintaining and coordinating
updates to the Debian Policy Manual and all the other policy documents
released as part of the "debian-policy" package.

The Debian Policy Editors:

- Guide the work on the Debian Policy Manual and related documents as a
  collaborative process where developers review and second or object to
  proposals, usually on the debian-policy mailing list [1].

  [1]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-policy/

- Count seconds and weight objections to proposals, to determine whether
  they have reached sufficient consensus to be included, and accept
  consensual proposals.

- Reject or refer to the Technical Committee proposals that fail to
  reach consensus.

- Commit changes to the version control system repository used to
  maintain the Debian Policy Manual and related documents.

- Maintain the "debian-policy" package. As package maintainers, they
  have the last word on package content, releases, bug reports, etc.
