DM is for people interested in small(er) style maintenance. I wouldn’t say it is plain wrong; there are certainly exceptions. All (library )packages by the DHG have identical packaging issues – if someone is able to do a good job on one of them, he is able to do a good job of all of them. Also, the real time-consuming work for us is when we need to upload all >450 packages with no source change, or a trivial one. I am certainly looking forward to distribute the load not only on the DDs but also on the DMs. Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
