Most people on this list are quite inactive regarding qa currently. Currently mostly tbm and joy are on that list rightfully. Even more silly is that we had started a list of qa workers sometime and I don't even know who is on that list and what is it good for. This is just another example of adding more bureaucracy and hoping to improve the situation by it. It just does not work. I am all for closing down the qa-ctte. Let the people on debian-qa@lists do their work. Being in a commitee does mean nothing. It's more important to have a good reputation for doing things which are not accepted by all maintainers. I think only a small number of maintainers will ever disagree with what Martin and Josip are doing because they make the right decisions and this is public knowledge. I think this is how you can reach a higher level in Debian, not formally but practically. And I have to say I like this. There is nobody appointed to have special rights but you gain them by doing good work accepted by many maintainers. Let's not change this! > Having said this, I want to add that I think we need people who start > new QA projects and motivate other people to join (but they don't have > to be on a different level than others). Yes, we need somebody to drive the specific projects like removing oldlibs dependencies for example. And that person have to give the torch to somebody else if he does not find the time anymore. We will see how it works :) cu Torsten
