This sounds like a self-amplifying situation. The project should do 
something against that, especially in such a core position.

I thank the DPL for putting this to public attention.

Greetings

yeah, it's pretty funny to see a team burn out and have the same silly
& salty discussion about this again and again.

or maybe not.

also talking about how NEW is a bottleneck will be really motivating
to the person how has been doing most of NEW processing in the last
months.

or maybe not.

I'm not sure about you, but just last week I got a package through NEW
in a few hours. my rust upload folder also told me we (mostly sequoia,
but also rebuilderd) go 86 packages through NEW in the last 15 months,
which means more than one package per week. and that's just our little
corner here.

I do have some complaints about the ftp team, as I have about many things,
*but* I also have tremendous respect for their work. and I know, you might
have forgotten but it was discussed on d-d-a iirc, that several improvements
are being worked on right, and that's not only tag2upload.

so if the/a team says they cannot handle new members right now and thus
there should be no big announcement asking for new members, I very much
think this should be respected and not be ignored and spread on our
most visible mailing list, where there pain will be consumed with popcorn.

I apologize for trying to bring a smile into a heated discussion and 
will now return to shutting up to non-technical issues.

I appreciated the humor.

Sometimes humor is designed to pick on people or make someone feel bad.  I don’t 
appreciate that type of humor.

Other times humor is designed to lighten a tense conversation in a way that helps 
everyone relax and realize that maybe they could discuss a serious topic more 
productively if everyone wasn’t so tense about it.  I find this type of humor to be pleasant 
and helpful.

I felt Marc’s comment was the second.  YMMV.  :)

yes, maybe, probably.

but the way it's been done here currently is utterly disrespectful und hardly
helpful at all.

Well OK but mayybe he should have handled this a bit more diplomatically.

Or maybe he tried to, and failed to get traction. I assume he'll tell us 
presently, if only to reduce the popcorn-to-serious-discussion ratio.

Please don't. We'll get enough of this sort of remark from LWN soon 
enough; treating peoples' honest concerns (not to mention their actual 
work for the project) as entertainment on-list is disingenious.

There is a risk for such a situation to become auto-feeded.

I acknowledge the position of the ftpmasters team, but do you have a
plan to avoid it becoming a vicious circle?
