If you upload a package marked "Maintainer: J Random Hacker <jrh@example.com>", then you're asserting J Random Hacker is capable of maintaining that package. You're already doing that in the sense that uploading such a package already instructs the BTS to forwards filed bugs to that person. If you don't want to do that, you can still sponsor an upload from J Random Hacker by having J only be mentioned in the changelog (and/or README, etc), and not the control file. > Or does the advocate imply that the DM is capable of maintaining all > types of packages. DMs upload priveleges are on a per-source-package basis as per the proposal. Cheers, aj
