Iâ??d love to have a bit more incentive to get people like Ingo, who
has been doing m68k buildd work for, I believe, a decade, to become
at least a Debian member. On the other hand, while some of these
people (porters) will need packaging skills and should attempt to
become full uploading DD, some (buildd admins) will need more or
less only trust and some limited technical skills (ofc they should
be welcome to do more), so we shouldnâ??t put the barrier *too* high.
Iâ??d really like to get everyone whoâ??s got root on the m68k buildds,
or physical access to it¹, to be a member of the project, though�
