Usually I should be able to respond in 24h. However, my plan is
to delay important DPL statements *intentionally* to
1. Consult trusted and experienced DDs about the topic
2. Sleep over it

I can't seriously answer this question in advance.

I plan a massive change in my Debian work to shift from uploading
and bug fixing to DPL tasks.

I have informed the attendees of Debian Med sprint *before* I even was
drafting my platform. I'm observing some increased dedication inside
the team and I'm as well happy as thankful for this.
I wrote some e-mail to Debian R team[1]. I admit I consider the R-pkg
team as non-functional since I'm de-facto the only uploader[2] (since
Dirk E. does not consider himself a team member and his uploads are not
the team maintained packages). I'm concerned about the fact that there
is very low response to my mail. We definitely need some contributor
who takes over routine-uploads to keep the R stack up to date.

To be honest: This is a question I had to myself several times and I
really hope that my answer is not to strongly in contrast to reality.
Kind regards
Andreas.
