I usually ask for comments from native English speaker when submitting ITPs, but such requests of mine get read only on -devel. I would personally be more than happy to get feedback from -l10n-english, simply I've never though about CC-ing people there. It would be wonderful to have -l10n-english automatically Cc-ed. More generally: do we only support submitting ITP in english? If soon or later we plan to support ITP in other languages maybe we can add a pseudo-header field to the ITP bug report with the language the bug report is written in and Cc the appropriate -l10n-XXX list.

Yes, but these could be filtered locally. I do not see a good reason to mirror automatic mails to a mailing list which is really being used by humans. Increases noise level.

What I don't quite understand is how a non-free package should block this upgrade. Yes, Java is used by a lot of people and I'd certainly not push this into testing until the problem is solved, but we're talking about unstable here. If Java is broken in unstable because of a Java bug (AFAIU this is really a Java bug, not an X bug?) and is not so easy to fix, the by all means lets break Java.

"unstable" doesn't mean "it's ok to upload packages with known bugs that render the system unusable to many users and drives them away from using unstable because they're using non-free software and that shouldn't matter to us". The consequences of breaking Java for most users (whether they're using it in the form packaged in non-free or not) would be an increased volume of (duplicate) bug reports for the XSF and, if the problem remains unresolved, a decrease in the number of users testing the unstable packages for us in precisely the configurations that are relevant to the XCB switch. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
