This should be obvious. Track the packages you are interested in, adopt them if they get orphaned, provide fixes or other changes where possible/needed, ping the maintainer if they seem to need help, contact the QA team if they are MIA and hijack if nessecary. Further information is in the developers-reference: http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ > How do you communicate with them regarding issues and bugs? That is what http://bugs.debian.org/ is for. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
