Me too! I had no idea that the Salsa /debian/ namespace had any semantical meaning wrt upload rights. > I encourage more collaboration, but I think it is the wrong approach to > casually redefine established constraints like this. However I think clarifying/changing semantics as suggested is okay, in this situation. I'm fine with anyone else doing uploads of "my" packages. The more uploads the better. I believe any mistakes are better handled by making new uploads, not by preventing people to do uploads. I would prefer if all Debian packages were maintained in the /debian/ Salsa group and all DDs had the ability to make improvements to all packages, compared to having things scattered among namespaces, sites and people. I'm happy that some people already thought this was the case, for packages in /debian/. /Simon
