We got on the topic of buildds because *someone refused to help diagnose build failures because they consider it the buildd admin's job*. This is a concrete and specific task which needs attention, which doesn't require special access in order to work on, and by means of which developers can demonstrate their trustworthiness to buildd maintainers. Instead, people are telling me this is the buildd maintainer's job, and that no one is going to volunteer to do any porting work unless they are given the keys to the buildds in the process. The buildd maintainers are stopping people from helping? Like, WTF? > I started my implication in the project four years ago.
