I'm not sure what the best solution is as far as notification goes. Generally we don't look at the ITP when reviewing packages (ITP isn't even required, so it's really outside our scope). A comment to the ITP should get to the original packager. If it's a worthwhile issue they can fix and re-upload. Most packages are currently available on Salsa even though not directly available through the New queue. A copy of the New queue does exist on coccia, but it's not currently readable for non-FTP Team members. It's probably not too hard to change that if it turns out having other DDs review things is useful. Right to the ITP bug and mention it on #debian-ftp might not be a bad way to start experimenting with external reviews. Scott K
