Thanks for doing it. Since people have been too busy with the freeze to upload a new version of the policy manual, not everyone has had reason to know about my policy proposals, which have been accepted amedments for over a month and a half.

Yes, please. I think he is inactive. If he gripes at you about the NMU, send him to me and I'll take the heat. I'll invite him to IRC and we can scream at each other. :) -- G.
