Hi Andreas,
as of today, the Files-Excluded field is still the biggest proposed change in
the machine-readable copyright file specificaiton.
In the end, there is a chance that the work on a revision will not start if we
do not start it ourselves... On the other hand, I have a big backlog for a lot
of Debian-related tasks.
Unless we have a volunteer, the best would be to roughly plan a couple of
monthes in advances, so that we can do our best to keep a bit of free time in
our agendas.
Or would you start the discussion by presenting the Files-Excluded field at the
Debconf 2015 this year ?
Have a nice Sunday,
Charles
