Bartek, you said you have patience. You can, and you want to spend much
time to become developer. And I think this is what we should expect from
developers, besides of course good level of knowledge and practice. When
one have no time to even complete NM process, how we could expect that
he would have time to care about his packages? I believe, that Norman
Walsh can take it up, but what if he have not enough time to do this?
As he said before: "Time passed. Eventually weeks passed. I started
feeling guilty about clogging up the process and told Fabio it'd be
September at least before I was able to free up enough time to try again."
I appreciate what Norman is making for community. He don't need to be dd
to prove it to me, that he's making good work. It is his decision, if he
would like to start NM again, or give it up. That don't mean of course
that whole NM process is broken.
If the whole process is designed, so only people with enough skill and
time could complete, then I think it is right. There are many folks with
some free time and enough skills that want to be debian developers like
Bartek. They would not fear NM restrictive process, so you don't have to
worry about lack of new maintainers. Beeing debian maintainer is seen
honourable. Don't throw it away making it simple and painless.
