I don't know if what you pretend is written somewhere, but at least I know one place where it's written the exact opposite of what you are claiming (it took me quite some time to remember where I read it...): http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#What_if_I_upload_a_package.2C_and_then_my_mentee_disappears.3F And specifically: "Having said that, this does create some extra work for people who decide to work on QA." Then later: "maintainers and packages enter and exit Debian; it's part of a life cycle. It's okay to upload mentees' packages knowing that you risk going through an orphaning/adoption process later." So, here, we have the wiki page from mentors.debian.net (which is not authoritative, I admit) that says the exact opposite thing of what you are telling (it says that an unmaintained package would go to the QA team), and nothing in the policy or in the developer's reference that agree with you. Without taking any side, either you or the mentors.d.o wiki page is wrong. Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
