No, we don't all monitor it 24/7, but I think it'd be better than nothing, as I mentioned, a day would be better. > I'd say either be prepared to wait a few days, or do it right away and > upload it to, say, the 3-day delayed queue (posting bug, patch, and NMU > status to BTS). That gives the maintainer a chance to look at it and > reject/correct, but allows you (the NMU-er) to move on. The complaint was that waiting 3 days was too long. I don't believe the NMU'er should be concerned only with 'moving on'- once the NMU is done they *have* to monitor the package afterwards too in order to make sure their NMU didn't cause problems.
