[$] Debian splits ftpmaster team

Wednesday October 29, 2025. 03:05 PM , from LWN.net
Debian's ftpmaster
team has been responsible for allowing new packages to enter Debian,
removing old packages, and otherwise maintaining Debian's package
archive for more than two decades. As of October 26, the team is
no more and its duties are being split between two new teams. The Archive
Operations Team will focus on the infrastructure required to
support the Debian
archives, and the DFSG, Licensing & New
Packages Team, which is responsible for reviewing packages
entering the new
queue. In time, this move could speed up processing of new
packages, as well as making the teams more sustainable, but only after
new members are recruited and trained. For now, the same folks are
doing the work but spread across two teams.
