Please be aware that NEW processing is human work. There's quite a big backlog (currently still over 300 while I feel a lot got done already), and I at least try to err on the side of caution. This means, and yes, it already happenen, that it will occasionally happen we will reject an upload by mistake. If this happens to you, just reply to the mail (as its footer says, if you don't understand the reject, reply) and it will looked into. Of course, if we decide it was a mistake and your package should be accepted, we'll process it out-of-order (The mistake I rectified yesterday was in NEW for 70 seconds, surely a record). Taking it as offence and acting accordingly could have negative effects on swift reprocessing. > I think i would have warranted at least a reply on this case, don't > you think ? Maybe, if one would reply to all mails you send out, one wouldn't have time for ANY other Debian work. For example, you contributed 75 mails[1] within 24 hours to the Vancouver thread, consisting (excluding quoted text) of about 7522 words in 43kB of hand-written text[2]. I'm sorry, but you think it's weird people can't resist accidentally hitting the 'd' key when seeing an incoming mail from you? Anyway, regarding kernels: I can imagine sometimes, especially with the backlog we have currently, a swift processing of some kernel package might be warranted and help Sarge. If there is such a case, it would help if someone other than yourself from the kernel team contact the right email address[3] about it, I had a hard time distilling from your mails if and which packages would genuinly benefit sarge if they were processed swiftly, of course together with a short and factual explanation. You can also try to make a release-team-person ask, but they are also busy people, so why bother them?
