It can be deployed, and we can start our beta, within *days*.
All it would take is for the DPL to publicly support our Task
Delegation proposal. We'd soon have a second volunteer (thanks
Daniel) and the key would be installed, simply and straightforwardly,
almost immediately.
We aren't waiting because ftpmaster haven't done the work agreed
in 2024, that only they want. That work is *not necessary*.
We are waiting because the DPL won't authorise an "NMU", despite
- the team involved being well-known as dysfunctional for many years
- the team's explicit position being that they don't want tag2upload
- the team having failed to deliver on its promises
- a complete lack of communication from that team
If that's not sufficient justification for DPL action then there can
surely be *no* circumstance in which a DPL will ever act.
