Moreover it's in the mood to have co-maintaining, and I guess it's on the same idea. But for very small packages, this can be a real pain to find an advocate. I think a relaxed version of the previous would be better : we should have an advocacy option, that will make the processing of the package faster. I dunno how to *technically* do that, certainly with two gpg-signature. It's a little OT, but I think that the upload mechanisms should be enhanced a little to be able to *certify* that a package has been reviewed by many DD. the Uploaders field is not signed, and is not trustfully. I guess this should be a really interesting information (even not for OT) > - a NEW team This is IMHO a brilliant idea. It should filter a lot of packages that are inadequate for NEW, and ftpmasters will only have to filter the one that already have been checked by a whole team. It will maybe slow down mean entrance time, but will drasticaly improve the quality of the packages that passes the NEW test, and allow to drasticaly reduce the maximum ttl of a package in NEW. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O OOO http://www.madism.org
