I cannot tell you *exactly* what to do, because I don't know exactly <br>
what is gonna happen and where exactly you fit into that.<br>
<br>
What I react on is that you file a bugreport and the next I hear about <br>
it is that you issue an RFS.<br>
<br>
Filing a bugreport means "something is wrong with this package", and an <br>
RFS means "please do a sponsored upload of this package I created". <br>
There is something missing between those two, because you are not the <br>
maintainer of the package involved.<br>
<br>
Generally in Debian, the "Maintainer" field lists who is responsible for <br>
maintaining the package. Others in Debian (and outside of Debian <br>
through a "sponsor") can upload a new package, but non-maintainers are <br>
expected to coordinate uploads with the maintainer.<br>
<br>
For packages maintained by a team, it is less clear - each team decides <br>
how relaxed they handle maintainer responsibility. We have no clear <br>
rules about this in the JavaScript team, so what I find sensible as a <br>
fallback is to look at who has most recently done work on the package.<br>
<br>
What I am talking about here is not who "owns" or "holds power over" a <br>
package, but instead who is more *familiar* with the package, to not <br>
accidentally break something or maybe do duplicate work.<br>
<br>
Concretely for the package leaflet-image, I am quite familiar with it, <br>
so was surprised that you announced the need for an uploading sponsor, <br>
without any prior conversation about the bug that is supposedly fixed by <br>
that new package.<br>
<br>
So essentially what I expect is that you talk about the bugfix you have <br>
put together. E.g. share the patch you've made.<br>
<br>
Not talk to me personally, and not talk here on this mailinglist, but <br>
post followup emails to the bugreport: <a href="mailto:1003260@bugs.debian.org" target="_blank">1003260@bugs.debian.org</a><br>
<br>
Hope that makes sense - otherwise try tell what more specifically is <br>
still confusing, and I will try elaborate on that part.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
