And on second thought, while I think it makes most sense for modules, I think that other common PHP utilities might also fit here (stuff like phpDocumentor when it gets packaged). I like the model adopted by pkg-java, outlined at: http://java.debian.net/ "There are two kinds of packages in this project: 1. Packages with "Maintainer: Debian Java maintainers <pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth...>" are "public packages": All members of the pkg-java project are allowed to modify and upload the package without asking first. 2. Packages with an individual maintainer: Please ask the maintainer before changing the package or adding yourself to Uploaders: first. "The goal is to make all base and library package public so that you can change them easily e.g. when your application needs an updated version. You don't have to file a bug report in this case and wait for the maintainer to upload a new version, you can simply upload the fixed package yourself. This will hopefully speed up the integration of Java packages in Debian since most maintainers work in "bursts" and are unable to spend time for Debian from time to time." I would propose we adopt a model like this, with the exception of the main php4/php5 packages. If this sounds good to everyone, perhaps you could grant me membership in the pkg-php project (my username is currently cfry-guest, though the DAM should be changing that any day now). I'll start by importing the modules which I maintain (php-cache-lite, php-pager, and php-simpletest) and by putting together a basic webpage, similar to the pkg-java page referenced above.
