Hi Andrej and Lee!

Thank you for the quick reply and sorry for the delay in mine.

Hahaha, and how is this different from how Debian usually acquires
labour? ;)

Wonderful!  Yeah, I know what you mean.

I just checked, and surprisingly yes!  It appears that anyone who can
write to the Debian (old collab-maint) group can also write to bormatic
and borgbackup, and....oh!  It's because The Borg Collective is under
this namespace.  I wonder if all the other DDs know that they've already
been assimilated?

Lee, I noticed you've recently become an Uploader.  Would you please
open acknowledge all the NMUs in debian/changelog?  There is more info
about this at various places (Policy, Developers Reference, etc.).  You
can also close this bug in that changelog entry.

Cheers,
Nicholas
