[Pkg-crosswire-devel] Becoming a Debian developer

[Teus Benschop]

Hi Roberto,

I am glad that there is a way to become a Debian Developer, and that you
are willing to advocate the application, once it is ready. Thank you for
that.

I will take my time to carefully study all the steps required to be taken
on the road towards being a full member of the Debian community of
developers.

Time permitting, I am willing to help you with items on the backlog of
patches and bugs and other package-related issues.

I do expect upstream of each package to provide adequate responses to open
queries if they're willing to have their packages in Debian.

What is this backlog located? I can then have a look at it and pick an item
that is not too difficult to start off with.

Teus.
