Yes and no. I think that the developers have no right to expect that any
particular ftp-master (or other role) will commit any particular time or
amount of time. But we should expect that the ftp-master group as a
whole will accomplish its appointed tasks, which includes processing
NEW packages.
If there are insufficient ftp-master-hours to keep the backlog to a
reasonable limit then additional ftp-masters should be trained.
