I interpreted Andi's response as one answer, and the lack of any additional messages as an indication that there wasn't any additions to the set of bugs which needed to be fixed before allowing an upload (though the set of bugs to allow it to transition to testing was larger)... which apparently wasn't the case. > I do agree that it's not fair to have a moving set of things to fix > for uploading to the archive, but I think that just means we have an > obligation to examine the package carefully and enumerate that set > of critical bugs, not that we should call it good with the one > critical bug that's currently been identified to this list. I'm of the personal opinion that having the package in unstable and enumerating the set of bugs using the BTS is (in general) the best way to do just this, though the delayed bounce issue is serious enough to delay the package. There are certainly serious bugs, but in my opinion, they're not bugs that are severe enough to stop an upload of qmail to unstable (or in my original thinking, to experimental.) It would have been nice for these issues to have been raised at some point in the week which elapsed between me trying to advance the issue and calling for votes or at least the two days between me sending a ballot option and calling for votes so they could be properly addressed.
