Okay, I understand. I see I didn't even mention Colin Watson in the
'Uploaders', which was more by accident than by intention.
My idea about an upcoming upload was (and is) as follows:
- fix the utf-8 changelog check patch, or either back it out for now so
the upload won't be stalled too much by it
- call for a bit of testing after this aforementioned issue is solved
either way, providing an apt-gettable export of current subversion.
- after a day or two without negative feedback, go for upload. I've now
added to wait for Colin (or you, Josip) to give his OK, as a more
active rather than passive check (as I intended before).
Note that by the commit messages to this list, any applied patch can be
seperately judged by anyone.
With this provision (agreement, promise, whatever) (== no upload without
prior Colin/Josip approval), do you find the patch acceptable (adding
also Colin Watson to the list of uploaders)?
My rationale for still adding Frank and myself to uploaders, is a
commitment to lintian and a more public way of saying who are actively
developing on lintian. Which is an incentive to do more, and keep doing
lintian work. Of course, I do not know whether Frank Lichtenheld is
agreeing to be added, and what his opinion on this is, so that needs to
be cleared up too.
Colin, what do you think? Are you willing to review uploads?

Okay, no problem. Good thing you mention it though.
