Hi, I have two topics I like to discuss: 1. ubuntu-dev-tools contains a bunch of scripts. Some of them are useful only for Ubuntu, but some of them are general usable for packaging. These scripts are: add-patch check-symbols cowbuilder-dist debian-distro-info distro-info edit-patch get-build-deps merge-changelog mk-sbuild pbuilder-dist pull-debian-source (?) reverse-build-depends suspicious-source what-patch wrap-and-sort Should these script moved from ubuntu-dev-tools into devscripts? Most of the script are written in Python. Rewriting them to get them included in devscripts is too much work without benefit. devscripts would depend on python then. 2. devscripts appears to me not very well maintained. It has 11 uploaders, but 237 bugs are open. In contrast ubuntu-dev-tools, which has a similar count of scripts, has only around 50 open bugs. The more astonishing number is the 45 patches waiting to be reviewed. What can be done to improve this number? -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer
