<p>Ondrej,</p>
<p>Can you do me a favor and review the 1.18.0-9 tag which contains
the merge for the FTBFS fix, the security patch for the auth-pam
module, and some changes to Copyright (since i'm contributing to
the packaging, my copyright year needed updated) and adds me to
Uploaders?</p>
<p>Secondly, if there are no issues with that, can you push this
into ftp-master and provide a dak command that gives me upload
access? It seems that even though I'm on the maintainers list in
Salsa, there's pushback, so if you can back the upload that'd
solve many of the problems.</p>
<p>My current goal with 1.18.0-9 now that i was added as maintainer
in Salsa is to get it out and deployed so Testing has a version
that works again. After that's in Testing, I will be pushing to
get us onto 1.20.x because that's the latest stable and far newer
than what we have now (nearly 2.5 years old now) and fixes some of
the other concerns about needing a version bump, etc.</p>
<p>Given that we are now facing NGINX Not In Testing, and are facing
a preliminary full freeze date of Any Day Now, it'd be better to
get this uploaded sooner than later so we have it in testing
should a Debian release happen sooner than later (there were
comments that a release might be coming and emails to devel
announce in March that suggested a full freeze was coming but was
not yet announced with a TBD date, so expediency is warranted
here).</p>

I sent such requests literally when they gave me access, and it
seems there may only be one or two individuals driving the package
- of which it's impossibly hard to get one of them to even
respond. Last response I had from Ondrej on the uploaders and
team was "Join the maintainers team" on Salsa, which I did and
they granted me access - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://salsa.debian.org/nginx-team/nginx">https://salsa.debian.org/nginx-team/nginx</a>
has the recent work which has made the team "no longer inactive
after a three week break". If this is not enough to point at me
having maintainer access to the VCS for releasing the packages,
then maybe Debian should do some research before outright
rejecting.<br>
<br>
I'm happy to wait for one of their people to give me dak access or
sponsor the upload, however keep in mind that after 3 weeks with
no activity AND a merge request that took two weeks to get that
would fix the FTBFS that broke NGINX in Testing to begin with,
we're staring at a "Package is not fit for testing" problem
currently that is nearly a month old and hasn't been fixed yet.
(However, given that I've been making the commits on the Salsa
repo that the packaging directly comes from, I'm not sure if you
mean something other than the NGINX Team on Salsa when you refer
to "maintainers" - I have 'Maintainer' access on the Salsa repo
itself that the packaging comes from)<br>

Thank you for the updates. Is this coordinated with the nginx
maintainers?<br>
Actually it is hard for any mentor outside that team to sponsor
the upload.<br>
And it seems there is no RC bug for nginx right now?<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/nginx">https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/nginx</a><br>
<br>
BTW, you may want to first ask the nginx team and debian
developers who<br>
gave you salsa maintainer access for the DM access, instead of
other debian<br>
developers from mentors list.<br>
Because a portion of the mentors have no experience with you
(including me),<br>
and hence we cannot make a decision on whether to grant you with
DM access.<br>
Once given without ack from original nginx maintainers, it still
feels<br>
like package hijacking.<br>
<br>
According to nginx upload history, this will be the first time
of your<br>
upload... so it is indeed uneasy for an outsider (in terms of
nginx)<br>
to help.<br>

Would a mentor be willing to upload this sooner than later as
it fixes<br>
some FTBFS / RC bugs? It'd be nice if said sponsor can also
push a dak<br>
command to ftp-master so I don't have to go via Mentors to
upload nginx<br>
releases (I've already been granted DM access for my packages,
and am<br>
now a maintainer in the Salsa repository for NGINX and should
probably<br>
have upload privs as well).<br>
