Hi, We (Bas Wijnen, Lucas Nussbaum) worked on a Debian Enhancement Proposal[0] on the policies and workflows for Non Maintainer Uploads (NMUs). The main purpose of the proposal is: * to explicitely allow fixing bugs of severity lower than important in NMUs. * to encourage the use of the DELAYED queue. * to try to encourage a responsible approach for NMUs, instead of an approach based on strict rules. This DEP is available on the Debian Wiki[1]. When commenting on this DEP, please create sub-threads on debian-devel@ (changing the Subject) for each point you raise, and avoid discussing several points in the same mail. Have a nice flamewar^Wdiscussion!
