That's a really helpful idea. > I see there are already some in: > > https://salsa.debian.org/debian-dpl/dpl-helpers Good catch! I noticed those texts differ somewhat from the final delegation mails, and I'm not entirely sure what their intended role was. I've left them unchanged but moved them into the appropriate subdirectories in https://salsa.debian.org/debian-dpl/dpl-helpers/-/tree/master/delegations?ref_type=heads In addition, I've started adding the actual delegation mail texts, using the naming scheme YYYYMMDD. This makes it easy to find the corresponding message in the mailing list archive. I'm in favour of keeping every single delegation in one file since you can easier follow the history of this specific delegation text. For sure we can also rely on Git to have the history but for the moment I think we can stick to this. Before going further (and I'd very much welcome help here!), we should clarify the following: Should we * simply store the delegation text itself (perhaps including the mail subject), or * keep the full mail with all metadata (To, Subject, From, Date, Message-Id, signature)? The second option is more complete for historical purposes, though redundant with the list archive. The first option is easier to edit and comment on - which I encourage and usually also invite future delegates to do. > Maybe they could be stored in a subdir instead in: > > https://salsa.debian.org/debian-dpl/dpl I think helpers is fine. > (Ideally importing all of the existing and obsolete delegations with > their history? :) Definitely and I'd appreciate help in restoring the history there. ;-) Thanks a lot for your suggestion Andreas. -- https://fam-tille.de
