Do you believe that the ftpmaster team might be amenable to either of the proposals mooted recently, such as multiple people certifying that the package is OK (like "advocates for packages"), or a collection of clueful DDs doing these sanity checks on NEW packages?
First, I should note this whole thread is ridiculous -- NEW packages in the general case simply aren't a priority worth obsessing over. Yes there's a delay at the moment, yes it's known about, yes it'll be resolved, yes it sucks that it hasn't already been.
Anyway, if you've got a "collection of clueful DDs doing sanity checks on NEW packages" you've got a collection of ftpmasters, either literally or de facto; I don't think there's any point bothering with unofficial ftpmasters.
I'm speaking only for myself. Cheers, aj
