	Let me get this straignt. You can't be bothered to read your
 own mail, you cant be bothered to check a web page, you cant be
 bothered to filter the -devel list looking for the ^Subject: .*PROPOSAL: 
 header into a new list, you can't be bothered to setup something that
 watches a bug page, and yet, you want others to cater to and spoon
 feed you so you may condescend to lend us your wisdom?

	I seriously think you should start finding other people to
 take care of your packages, if this is the case. Anyway, as long as
 Lintian is kept in place, there shall be bug reports on your
 packages. 


	Mind you, I am not so oppposed to the announce list, but I
 object to this lackadaisical approach to the responsibilities of
 being a Debian developer.
