Re: [Fwd: [RFC] Making NM 'by recommendation']
Julian,
I don't mean to say I'm impatient, I'm not. I just meant to indicate
where I am in the procedure for the readers context.
Thanx for the pointer to http://nm.debian.org/ though! I was not aware
of that.
Would it be useful to allow NMs to append info to this record? It seems
to me that the more info the new AM has the better. Like if I could add
that Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org> works with me and has agreed to
be by sponsor in both package and NM meanings. He has signed my GPG key
etc.
I am the maintainer of the BZFlag package and have agreement from Anand
to take over the Debian package once I'm a NM.
The AM will hear this from email just by asking, but would it not help
to choose an AM if this were in the NM database?
Again, I'm not impatient about this. I am just inserting suggestions for
possible inprovements to the process.
