Re: Should we have some NMU/commiting guidelines?
Hi,
I think DDs and pkg-games members should be allowed to commit freely.
Upload if the maintainer dosn't object within a week after being
notified. Optional per-repository override are fine, too. So I'm in
favour of making the guidelines quite welcoming.
Best regards,
Tobias
