While petsc and release is close to mind, I'd like to request
preauthorization for petsc/3.14.5+dfsg1-3 to make a minimal update to
fix Bug#985659 (fixing broken symlinks in docs).
You stretched us already quite a bit with -2. What we were missing is
an
explanation from you of all the changes in the release in an effort to
convince us that the upstream release was a targeted fix. Graham spend
quite some time to convince himself that this is a bug fix release
(apparently he wanted to help you). I rather want the maintainer to do
that work as it's really not sustainable to do this as Release Team for
the whole Debian archive (we get lots of requests). Please read the FAQ
[1]. Please, make a good judgement call and consider that we can only
spend our time once. unblock request that are *not* clearly in line
with
our freeze policy take more time and energy from us. Having to judge
corner cases is mentally straining. Denying an unblock request isn't
nice. Follow the rules and you make our lives as Release Managers a lot
easier.
