(And I've done that much, though I recently discovered my lintian setup was suboptimal, and didn't report some issues, which are since fixed.) > Those updates should prevent you from ever hitting the inactivity timeout > on mentors. This RFS is a pretty good example: there was no new upstream version, and no review (or any sort of activity on the RFS) since June, while the timeout on mentors.debian.net is only 20 days. I appreciate that Bart was likely trying to triage RFSes, but closing it rather than asking to reupload to mentors.d.n feels somewhat unfriendly, especially when the packaging repo is available, and up-to-date, on alioth. Note that I'm not mentionning that to complain or vent, but to report a problem that I'm encountering, as a non-DD contributor, in the hopes that it might be possible to fix it rather than let it affect other people. Best, nicoo
