Yet, the fact that you are members of both teams doesn't entitle you to decide such a transfer, even if you had the technical rights to do so. I therefore stand my point: the way Debian is made has not changed recently, and taking over still requires a formal approval from the maintainer, which you are not. The only alternatives are either an ITS or MIA team orphaning their packages, but as the maintainer is an active team, the latter will not happen. >> Apart from that, you'll need for an admin of the team to do the transfer, >> and they could be willing to check that no one in the team objects. > > Yes, we need an admin and that was I'm asking for.

This is the point of my mail. I disagree. Either the python team accepts the package to be transferred and it indeed should happen there. Or you're in a hurry and you should not change the maintainer field and still do your upload. This probably means we should have a stanza in the DPT policy about transfer of maintainership. -- Pierre-Elliott Bécue
