New queue is not public and will not be if I understood ftpmaster
correctly since there might be stuff inside it we are not permitted
to distribute (if someone would have checked it would not be in the
new queue any more).

I for myself was following
https://wiki.debian.org/PbuilderTricks
to setup a repository for local builds. I would agree that having this
for more packages in new might have some profit for other team members
but for the moment I think it would be more work for me to make that
happen than I could safe for others when realising this. I think the
cheapest way to realise this is to create a local repository with
reprepro and rsync it to
http://people.debian.org/~volunteer_of_the_team/newqueue
I'm not really motivated to maintain this seariously.
Kind regards
Andreas.
