You have never performed an upload on this package, nor are you mentioned in the changelog for the package. Debian Policy §5.6.3 states that this field is to be used to list co-maintainers of the package. You have not performed any maintainence on this package nor do I believe you had any intention of doing so. You are listed as an uploader on a large number of packages in the Debian Hamradio Maintainers team on which you have never actually performed any maintainence and this is the larger problem. It makes it difficult to co-ordinate maintainence of our packages and gives the false impression that there are those performing active maintainence on the package. As far as I can tell, you have essentially retired from the project at this point and should have orphaned your packages. If you are planning to do active maintainence on the package, then I can readd you to the Uploaders field on the next upload (I still have to correct the DEP-5 copyright - though I've done this upload to allow for builds to work on GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU/Hurd again after the upgrade to the latest upstream version). Thanks, Iain. -- e: irl@fsfe.org w: iain.learmonth.me x: irl@jabber.fsfe.org t: EPVPN 2105 c: 2M0STB g: IO87we p: 1F72 607C 5FF2 CCD5 3F01 600D 56FF 9EA4 E984 6C49
