Hi,
over the past half year I've seen quite some interest in contributing
to wicd's packaging, especially with contributions from non-DDs like
Salvo 'LtWorf' Tomaselli (did an NMU), toogley and just recently Giáp
Trần.
But since they're no DDs, they had no commit access to the
collab-maint project on Alioth: Salvo's NMU has been imported by me,
toogley published his changes on Github and I synced them from there,
and Giáp used "git format-patch" and sent the changes to me by e-mail.
So to allow non-DDs to easier participate (and less relying on me ;-)
in maintaining Debian's wicd package, I've created a pkg-wicd project
on Alioth and move wicd's packaging git repository there:
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-wicd/
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-wicd/wicd.git (the web interface
still doesn't work, but I was able to push to
git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-wicd/wicd.git)
To still benefit from occasional contributions from various DDs as
seen in the past and possible with a collab-maint project, I
configured the pkg-wicd Alioth project to grant any DD commit access.
That way non-DDs can easier get commit access while still having all
advantages of a collab-maint project.
I'm happy to add anyone to the pkg-wicd group on Alioth who wants to
help maintaining the wicd package. Either tell me by e-mail (include
your Alioth user name) or use the web form at
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-wicd/.
I'd be especially happy if those who worked on the wicd package in the
past would join the team, or at least the mailing list at
https://alioth.debian.org/mail/?group_id=101007
Another thing I'd be happy about would be if at least one more DD
would join the team, so that I can give him or her administrative
access to the project to reduce the bus-factor. Being listed in
Uploaders is _no_ requirement for that position. Gianfranco, Ritesh,
Mattia, Emanuele, anyone? :-)
Regards, Axel
