Would you be so kind as to update the wiki
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Development
to clarify what front-desk needs to do / not to do?
I'm not sure what the workflow is (notify maintainer and add to
dla-needed.txt stating so? not add to dla-needed until maintainer acked?
also how to detect when a package maintainer changed and hence
lts-do-call-me needs to be updated / new maintainer asked for their
preference?).
Last, do we drop 'lts-do-no-call'?
Cheers!
Sylvain
