Bug#160529: ASK is RFPed
Hello Robert,

It could be. The subject was probably something like:
Please Confirm (#12345678901234567890123456789012)
Some people argue it looks a lot like spam. In any case, the email remained
queued and I was able to "fish" it out of the queue.

That would be interesting. My idea is to remodel the Makefile to generate the
package correctly, minimizing friction. What else is expected of my if I'm
a Debian maintainer? Sorry for my ignorance, I'm a happy Debian user, but I
don't have a clue of what being a Debian mainteiner means.

I'll do as soon as I know that I can provide good service to the community. I
do intend to be the maintainer, but I need to know if my (at the moment)
rather busy schedule won't damage my image as a maintainer (I think not,
but...).
Again, can you point me to a document on the duties of a Debian package
maintainer?
Regards,
Paga
