Re: Policy About Maintainer and Uploaders Fields (was: PAPT: join request)

that policy is well written down, at
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonModulesTeam/HowToJoin - give it a
look and see if it clarifies your doubt about team maintenance and why
someone would prefer to have the ultimate responsibility for the
quality of a package.

you already created the openstack team (which is great!) with exactly
and only the rules you like, where you're free to do what you feel is
best; that's great but please also realize not everyone shares the
same ideas as yours and you should try sometimes to respect those
people decisions too.
