Right; this would be the standard RoQA/RoM/RoFTPM methods. So, what about the following: 1. Qmail is to be allowed into the archive without special preconditions. Ftpmaster should perform standard NEW processing for licensing, copyright, and general packaging issues as normal. Qmail is subject to the normal removal process for packages. 2. Qmail is to be allowed into the archive without special preconditions, save the RC bug indicated below. Ftpmaster should perform standard NEW processing for licensing, copyright, and general packaging issues as normal. with the addition of an RC bug filed immediately to preventing normal transition for a period of at least a month after traversing NEW. During this period, additional RC (or non-RC) bugs should be filed by interested parties, and updated qmail packages fixing these bugs should be uploaded as usual. After a month, the RM or the maintainer can continue to decide that the package is not acceptable for release at their discretion, as happens for any package. [If the RM or maintainer don't reaffirm the transition blocking bug, the ctte will close the transition blocking bug.] Qmail is subject to the normal removal process for packages. 3. Qmail is to be allowed in to the archive after a patch to resolve the delayed bounces issue, where mail sent to an invalid recipient which a reasonable MTA is capable of knowing is invalid is accepted instead of being rejected at RCPT TO time. After upload, the process outlined in option #2 will take effect. 4. Qmail is not to be allowed into Debian. 5. Further discussion. Lets see if we can at least do another go around in the next 48 hours, or begin the process of calling for votes then.
