When doing audio stuff I mainly write in C, or possibly with a little C++.

I use git-buildpackage + quilt to make my packages.<br>

</div>Sounds great!<br>

I feel you (and me too) should not read that too literally. Point is<br>
not that you must be super clever juggling bugreports to work in this<br>
team, but that you acknowledge that it involved juggling bugreports and<br>
you do not feel uncomfortably with that.<br>
<br>
Perhaps we should rephrase that sentence, to not scare off other<br>
potential future team members. What do others think?<br>

</div>No need for "daily basis" - not at all!<br>
<br>
This is a volunteer project, and there is no requirement in this team<br>
that we commit any specific amount of time on it. Heck, if you wanna<br>
work with us once a year I would still be happy to consider you a team<br>
member! :-D<br>

</div>If mailinglist traffic level discourages your joining us, then please do<br>
consider to simply setup your mail handling to reroute list traffic to a<br>
separate folder to not get bogged down by it. Point of you joining the<br>
list is not that you are alert and always "on duty", but that you<br>
acknowledge the _maintainance_ part of the task of maintaining packages.<br>
And again, the actual amount of devotion is fluid - can once a week or<br>
once a month you pop by, or even more infrequently since we are a team<br>
that can cover for each other. :-)<br>
<br>
<br>
So all in all, I still think you should consider joining our team.<br>
