Hi,

MJ Ray <markj@cloaked.freeserve.co.uk> on debian-newmaint,

IMHO, a proper evaluation would involve the mail traffic between the AM
and the NM. I don't know if every NM wants that to be available to the
public-at-large; personally, I don't care.

Having a couple of designated people who co-ACK the AM's report might
help, or it might not. That's the call of the DAM.


This mail is CC: da-manager@d.o. Maybe James or Martin can comment on what
would be helpful / needed / whatever to speed up their part of the
process.
