I'm sorry, but I don't know how do you relate with my analysis. Do you usually vote for the DPL elections or GRs? If not then yes, I feel you don't need a key (but see below). Of course this do not imply you should ask for the removal: there's a deficiency in our boolean sharp distinction among DDs and non-DDs, but that's not your fault. BTW, if you actually don't vote in either DPL elections or GRs, may I ask you why? > I'm not saying that I do much, but I could do less than a third of it > when not beeing able to upload myself. Sure, that's a matter of easiness in performing your work. IMO it should be possible to work on packages without having the need of being a DD (i.e. without the right/duty to vote) and without having the burden of ask for sponsorship. In other words I'm totally in favour of a more fine grained classification of Debian contributors on the lines of what has been discussed at DebConf6 (IIRC during a BOF/talk by Myon): - sporadic contributors (no vote right/duty, no upload permission) - maintainer (no vote right/duty, upload permission) - DD (vote right/duty, upload permission) Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- Computer Science PhD student @ Uny Bologna, Italy zack@{cs.unibo.it,debian.org,bononia.it} -%- http://www.bononia.it/zack/ (15:56:48) Zack: e la demo dema ? /\ All one has to do is hit the (15:57:15) Bac: no, la demo scema \/ right keys at the right time
