I disagree. Just to be clear, people who are not DD and not DM should IMO need a sponsor for any action at all they do on the archive. We're talking here about an untrusted maintainer whose package is NMU'd by a DD. DDs are implicitly trusted. Given this situation, I think it is good to expect the NMUer to be available during the delay, and respond to reasonable requests from the maintainer. Whether or not the maintainer is reasonable is something which can only be checked by a human. There is not even a GPG key, everyone can set the from address of an e-mail and nobody can even check if it's really the maintainer talking. > >There's a small technical issue on how to give DMs the ability to > >upload dcut files somewhere the DELAYED queue can get at them, but if > >this is a requirement, we can fix that.

It's not about DMs doing NMUs, but about aborting NMUs to their packages. Thanks, Bas -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
