+1. I find this suggestion to be much more in line with our current procedures. I'm particularly uneasy with letting the ftpmasters decide what's acceptable in the Debian archive on some non-usual policy requirements that can be difficult to justify. I'm not saying that we must let any crap enter the archive but when we have a maintainer and some reasonably popular piece of software, we should accept it in the archive. Note: it's not the same as accepting it in our stable release where all our usual criteria do apply. > As much as I'm not a fan of Qmail, I don't think the project should > stand in the way if someone is actually interested in spending the > time to attempt to make it acceptable for eventual release. Agreed. Same here.
