Hmmm... Well, that's strange, as you are basically requiring every NMU to be done by somebody _in_ the group. Remember that NMU'd bugs are not marked as closed, but as fixed, and they still appear in our group's QA page [1]. If the NMU uploader works as he should, he will send a proper patch to the BTS, and we will find it. And if we don't care to look for the open bugs in our packages every now and then, it's not much of a difference if he uploads to the 7-day delayed queue (standard procedure) or straight to incoming (low treshold), aas we won't probably take note until the bug fix is in. I don't know... Please ellaborate :) Right now, you are the only one opposing this idea - but I'd like to act on consensus, not on majority. Democracies suck!
