#1198150 — Bug#1071561: python-gnupg: DPT as package maintainer?

Source: python-gnupg
Version: 0.5.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

I noticed that your package uses the so-called "weak team maintainer" model, 
where the Debian Python Team is listed as uploader instead of as maintainer.
According to Team Policy, that means that other team members must not upload 
your package at all without asking you first, even for trivial changes.

Is this a deliberate decision or merely an artifact of some packaging helper 
tool such as py2dsc, which generated the initial d/control that way? If it is 
the latter, would you be willing to switch Maintainer and Uploader and thereby 
further open up your package for (reasonable) team uploads?

Thank you for considering this. Feel free to close the bug and/or tag it 
wontfix if you do not wish to apply this change.


Cheers
Timo

Thanks for looking into this.

It is a deliberate decision: this package is somewhat quirky and in
the past I've had to say no to suggestions that would have fixed some
issue, but caused problems elsewhere, so I'd prefer to keep the weak
team maintainer model (as long as it is in a wide-scope team).

Of course the typical team-wide changes are much welcome, but those
usually don't trigger a new upload.

This should be the only package I maintain that uses the weak team
maintainer model, all of the other ones should be already using the team
as the Maintainer (if they don't, *that* is an artifact of something,
and if I'll notice it I'll fix it)
