FWIW, the "with my name on it" was the least significant bit of the above message although it seems to be the only bit anyone paid attention to. I have killfiles; I cannot stop people from releasing software with my name on it; it's not a big deal. But don't expect me to do your QA or maintenance for you if you do so. The parent message was an attempt to get Debian developers to take on that responsibility for software outside Debian, and this Debian developer will not do that. -- see shy jo
