I agree that the NEW processing is working quite well these days, and
is no longer the source of much frustration in debian. The
ftp-masters are doing a great job processing new uploads in a timely
fashion. :)
But it is not doing a great job with processing a few old uploads. I
consider it a problem that no decision have been taken on the few
really old uploads (xvidcap, rte, mplayer). I believe the maintainer
deserve a reply and an acceptance or rejection in a predictable and
reasonable time frame. Waiting indefinitely is not acceptable, as the
maintainer do not really know what is wrong with the packages. So I
do not agree with your statement that there is no problem at all with
NEW processing. But this problem is a minor one, compared to other
problems in Debian, and compared to the problems with NEW processing
earlier.
