Bug#713043: Adding email and IRC contact points of the DSA team to the Developers Reference ?
Package: developers-reference
Severity: wishlist
Version: 3.4.10
> o) Points of Contact:
> There are four main points of contact for the debian admin team and
> their current guidelines:
> - dsa@debian.org: Anything that contains private or privileged
> information and should not be made public should go to this
> address. This new alias replaces the old debian-admin@debian.org
> alias, as the old one caused too much confusion in the past.
> - debian-admin@lists.debian.org: A mailing list that all members of
> the DSA team are on. There may be other people on that list as
> well, including local admins, other Debian Developers and
> interested third parties. We will make subscribing to this list
> possible for all DDs, though the technical details are yet to be
> worked out - we have a plan, but no code (RT#4501). Archives of
> new posts should be available on master, readable by the Debian
> group eventually (RT#4502).
> - request tracker: No changes here. If you have anything that
> can't or probably won't be dealt with immediately or a request
> where we want a paper trail, this is the place to make your
> request to. [wiki:rt] has some information on Debian's RT. We
> would like to deploy SSO authentication (with user management
> from LDAP?) on our RT instance at one point. Help welcome.
> - The #debian-admin IRC channel on OFTC. This is our primary work
> channel. It might be appropriate for a quick question. You're
> welcome to idle there, but please keep off-topic chatter to a
> minimum.
Hello,
thanks for this exciting report and your hard work. Related to the
paragraph above, how about the following patch to the Developers Reference ?
The first change is to expand the DSA acronym, and then the changes restart
after the instructions about the RT system, to introduce the other contact points.

If you have a problem with a certain service, not related to the system
