<p>I've joined the Salsa team, and begun taking some of the merge
requests that're pending to fix the issues with the Lua bug.</p>
<p>I'm not a DD so I can't directly upload until someone who is a DD
sends a dak command to give me access to upload nginx to
ftp-master, however I have also gotten some additional things in
place (such as fixing d/watch so that uscan properly picks up
stable release versions from nginx.org in the tracker). This is
also on the radar for a 1.20.x update as well in the future, it's
been requested on the issues on the git.</p>
<p>Getting 1.18.x out and fixed though first will be more important,
i'm testing the mips64el and s390x that failed to build in the
current merge, then we'll see if that compiles and is ready for a
bugfix release.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Ondrej, do we want to give me upload privs to ftp-master so that
I can get this pushed out quickly, or do you want me to go via
mentors and get it sponsored-updated? (I received my Debian
Maintainer status for my other packages recently if it matters).</p>

<p>I don't wish to be a nag or anything, however I have
some grave concerns with how the NGINX package is
being handled in Debian.</p>
<p>Not only did it take <b>months</b> to address the
Lua bug that broke the package and threatened to
remove the packaging in Testing, the subsequent FTBFS
that blocks the -8 upgrade went ignored for 14 days
before I went checking, and subsequently filed [1] has
been unignored for ~18 days according to the tracker.</p>
<p>I know that Debian nginx team is busy, however this
is one of those packages that should PROBABLY not drop
off of your radars.</p>
<p>The last time that the package had issues that went
unaddressed for months, I was highly tempted to go the
Package Salvage route, and then subsequently involve
the MIA team because this package is used by so many
and needs to be maintained - not just because
downstream users in Ubuntu like it, but because nginx
has a SUBSTANTIAL share of the httpd servers being
used right now live.</p>
<p>Is there anything I can do to assist you in the
process of keeping an eye on NGINX? Is there anything
that you need to keep maintaining this given that it
seems that the actual NGINX team is extraordinarily
*small* and potentially unable to maintain the package
to the standards it needs?</p>
