I wonder how becoming DM will help you handle your packages better. You have currently two very old RC bugs (#411070, #400066) and several packages waiting on new upstream versions (libtrash, #397924 without answer from you). Quite a few bugs have patches sitting in the BTS for very long. Several of your packages have not had an update since etch. In #411070, I haven't seen any contact between you and the other concerned maintainer. Furthermore you're waiting for a package split from the other maintainer but you're also claiming that both packages have a different API/ABI so the proper solution is to get one of the two upstream to rename their library. And I haven't seen any indication that you are working towards this... Instead I read ... > My continuing work towards helping create the best OS for our users is > also reflected in my outstanding WNPP bugs. ... implying that you're planning to take on more while you're not able to cope well with the packages that you already have. This makes me wonder if you're really aware of the level of quality that we expect from maintainers.
