I've shown David tonight how to do it, bar the details of uploading the tags, as I need to work out with ftp-master whether anyone can upload a new version of tag overrides or not. But first I need to work out how to upload them again in the first place because dpkg-genchanges has changed, after which I'll need to work out if the new version of dak will still accept my new dak patches, after which I bet I will need to work out something else. The intention has always been to create a proper web interface to manual tag reviews, and THEN publicise it: the current way is clumsy, error prone and does not scale. But the web interface to manual tag reviews will need to have a new website backend (for which I already have a VPS to use as a development machine, kindly donated by Truelite.it), but then I need to work out the right combination of postgres+xapian to do it, then build a web application around it. And I need to work out how to keep the two backends in sync so that I can implement new features in the new one while still keeping the old one in production. Which may finally happen now that David has taken some concrete interest. It took several years to see a Proper Minion arrive, let's hope he will last.
