It's window-dressing what you're doing here. I think you're mistaken, and leaping to judgement. > I fact I even once wrote that I don't want to become an ftpmaster as > well.

And I'll leave that to others to decide, but I don't think it's a good idea at all. There are, for instance, a range of outstanding RC bugs on sudo as a result of the security release for it that need fixing, which aiui aren't being worked on -- adding further distractions from the time you can spend on fixing problems like that doesn't seem a win for the project. Even if it were, I'm not convinced that "You're all incompetent, give me access" is a good way to join a team. > This disclaimer is in the status because I don't have permissions to > do the update on my own. Note that the release managers also don't have permissions to do those updates directly, but rather make use of tools similar to the queue process. Cheers, aj
