Amaya is the one doing the NMUs in this case; it happens that she is using patches prepared by NMs in the process. I don't think it's particularly appropriate to list the NM as the "maintainer" in the changelog, either, as they are *not* the party responsible for the upload (they can't be); though it's certainly appropriate to credit them in the changelog. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
