Here are the messages sent to the Debian Python mailing list. https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2025/12/msg00077.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2025/12/msg00078.html It appears that you didn’t realize they had been sent to the Debian Python mailing list, because you responded to the Debian Mentors mailing list. https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2025/12/msg00224.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2025/12/msg00223.html Please be more careful about curtly responding to RFS in the future. Even though the Debian Python team policy says that members “can” submit RFS to the Debian Python mailing list, nothing says they “should” or “must”. They can submit them to Mentors if they like, and they can use the Mentors RFS template on the Debian Python mailing list if it is helpful to them. Responding curtly to an RFS (even if it is in error, which wasn’t the case here) can be off- putting to new contributors. All that being said, I think it is best for Python packages to be reviewed by a member of the Debian Python team, because there are many Python specific aspects of packaging. And, personally, with experienced contributors, I like to just work with them directly from their Salsa repository, so I don’t find uploading to Mentors particularly helpful for users after their first few packages. However, I wouldn’t discourage anyone from doing so if it is helpful to them. -- Soren Stoutner soren@debian.org
