I'm missing this kind of information since the beginning. |

After 2 (?) years, i've learned some policies, like herd:desktop-* is |
| 10 |
free for all, don't touch herd:base-system and so on. But I did not keep |
| 11 |
records of every fella granting me full access. |

As a maintainer and slacker (as flameeyes pointed out), I singularily |
| 15 |
maintain my share of packages [1] with a rich variety of affection. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Less/singular affection (like the miredo/sbin/ip mishap, a package i |
| 18 |
proxied for a friend), I work on rand maintainer-needed@g.o packages, |
| 19 |
don't take maint and try to watch bugzie for follow ups. |
| 20 |
-> just go ahead and do what you think is right |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Total, regular affection, (cwm, ncdc, ncdu, mupdf (+derivates), llpp, |
| 23 |
netsurf, jumanji) and basically my inital commits. |
| 24 |
-> give me at least two days to review changes. |
| 25 |

Either way, go ahead, BUT I __really__ like being informed about an NMU |
| 27 |
carried out, nothing sucks more than doing the update and see |
| 28 |
repoman+cvs reject the update (yeah, work on an fresh checkout blah blah). |

As an impatient person with an urge to fix things, I often commit on |
| 31 |
random stuff, after asking or timeout. I'd like to propose three |
| 32 |
positions to post information about NMU-policy, preferred way of |
| 33 |
communication, affection to bulk-mail|reports|...|euscan update|KEQWORDREQ |

- Every dev as person, like an devaway. |
| 36 |
- Every herd, somwhere in herds.xml |
| 37 |
- Every Package-category (for project-categories like vim/kde/gnome/) |
| 38 |
(it'd be usefull to fetch and provide this info as equery meta output). |

(Yes, I've broken and will break things, my sincerest apologies, I |
| 41 |
really try hard. Thanks for ssuominen being a encouraging example.) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
At some point I'm really scared about reactions in the past and avoid |
| 44 |
certain areas, persons and really basic|widespread stuff like zsh (bug |
| 45 |
19924, [2]). |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
my 2 cents. |
