I applaud the increasing tendency of Debian maintainers signing up for the low-threshold NMU list. But I think the group already serves as an insti- tution to distribute the responsibility among many persons. I'd support signing up the entire group, too, as long as any NMUers commit their NMUs to the group's Subversion repository. If that's impossible without being a member of the group, then I am against it. The group should not have to continually track, and reproduce in the repo, NMUs, which are bound to happen relatively frequently given the large number of packages maintained by the group.
