It surprises me that the only solution to that problem seems to be to add more people to the FTP team, so that the processing bandwidth will improve. That's not true. We imposed that reviewing step to ourselves, and, if it's doing more harm (by slowing down development and annoying contributors) than good (by detecting mistakes and improving Debian's overall quality), we could simply decide to drop it. (or to drop it partially, for some categories of uploads). It's funny how in Debian, we always prefer to add more checks (which always let some things get thought while they shouldn't) rather than trusting developers to do the right thing. It's similar to what happened to the NM process. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lucas@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lucas@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F |
