The policy process is well documented. <http://wiki.debian.org/PolicyChangesProcess> Beside, Russ could not know about your patch before uploading 3.9.2.0 since you send it after that date. > How many more months will it take to put DEP5 on the policy web pages? > Been waiting that for half a year now...

I am not in control of the policy web page. All I can do is to upload a policy package that include DEP5, which was done in 3.9.2.0 by Russ. You can ask debian-www to add it to the website if it is not already done. > Should I conclude that the policy team does not actually want DEP5 > in its package?

Whatever changes to policy has to follow the documented policy process, with a proposer and two seconders and a one-week discussion period. When this is done, I can upload policy 3.9.3.0 if you like.
