So if I unilaterally decide to set up an email "service" that reminds developers weekly what packages they have with lintian-warnings, that's automatically a Debian "perk" or "requisite"? I don't think so. I don't see the nag messages written anywhere as official policy, and I don't think they should be. Dale should be free to opt out of that system if he chooses. If this results in him neglecting to fix bugs in his packages for an egregious amount of time, there are always NMU's or simple reassignment of his packages to someone else. I, for one, doubt that Dale's removal from the nag list would result in any such irresponsibility. Please do not misrepresent your unilateral decisions as consensus by the corpus of the Debian devlopment community. If I am mistaken about the "official" status of the nag messages, please bring the relevant policy document to my attention. -- G.
