apt and dhcp3 are already maintained in a team format. A group of developers started the process of setting up team maintenance for UML, though I haven't seen much activity on that front since then (I no longer use UML and am trying to hand it off). For most of my other packages, I haven't been able to justify the effort of setting up proper distributed collaboration tools, but I always welcome NMUs if someone else has a contribution to make. There isn't much that I can do about packages that I don't maintain; we have some tools for this, but it is primarily a matter of personal preference (and not Debian dogma) how packages are maintained in Debian. If there is some concrete way that you feel that we can help encourage team-oriented maintenance of packages, I'd like to hear it. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
