Hi, I personally don't think having Jari as DD is going to do any harm to the project at all. While initial interactions were typical for anyone which is learning something new, he has improved a lot, more than enough for a DD. I must concur with Raphael that the number of packages is probably too high, but most of them are simple packages. And he has showed capable to deal with them. Regarding others, well, I disagree, but this is probably not the place to discuss them, so I'll wait until we're in front of a pint of beer in a future debconf. Anyway, as decission is already taken and some time as DM won't hurt anybody, I hereby advocate Jari as DM. best regards, P.S.: Cc on replies, I'm not subscribed to newmaint.
