By the time I noticed Holger reserved a DLA, I had the update ready
and built, so (I guess a bit unpatiently) I proceeded with an upload
after not receiving a reply from Holger for about an hour. I made a
mistake of using a wrong DLA number in the announcement, which cause a
bit of a mess later, but at this moment the original DLA number Holger
reserved has already been reused for clamav I believe, so it’s not an
issue anymore.
I guess there’s some room for improvement in the processes to prevent
that in future: maybe we can have a script to claim a package, or
maybe the wiki page can be reworded to make it more clear how to
prepare an LTS update.
