Re: Bits from ftp-team (aka: Don't upload RC fixes to NEW queue)
Hi,
no harsh criticism intended (I'm only slighly affected) but I agree with

+1 I had to upload my feed2omb package somewhere because someone else
wanted to use it and it was not yet in sid despite it being a trivial package
that's easy to review.
Also it's not time saved for ftp assistants because processing NEW later
will take as much time as it does processing it now but it will be more
intimidating as the backlog will be huge.
