<p>Also, can you regrant me maintainer access? I changed my
username from teward-guest on Salsa to teward, and it seems to
have dropped my permissions again...</p>

<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"
moz-do-not-send="true">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>

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>
