Yes, I read, but did not at that time find any policy breach.
I have now found a place that I obstruct: The "Checklist for Application
Managers".
I still do not believe to break Debian Policy (please state a specific
one), but it can be argued that I do not help either.
I will not sign packages of non-developers, because (as stated earlier)
I do not believe this works. Please, instead of persuading me to use my
signature for something I do not believe in, go ahead and do so yourself!

You did not read, did you? I offer to be the actual maintainer until Ian
can take over using our core procedures (not the NM add-on that I do not
believe in).
Ian:
You are still welcome to have me help: Make a package and put it public
somewhere (including sources). Then we can discuss possible improvements
and I maintain the package (with your changes clearly declared as coming
from you, off course) until you can take it over yourself.
I assume you want to adopt this package because you believe it is for
the good of Debian users, not only to proove your packaging skills.
If you believe that demonstrating your packaging skills this non-NM way
hurts your case then off course you should not accept my offer.
Have a nice day, everyone
- Jonas
P.S.
If package count was my goal, I'd go package a bunch of perl modules
instead of helping upcoming maintainers.
