More details here: +http://www.debian.org/vote/2007/vote_003 + +keyring maintenance +------------------- + +The keyring is built and maintained by using jetring to manipulate +changesets. The source package actually contains two keyrings, an admins +keyring and the debian-maintainers keyring. Admins can add new people to +either keyring. + +To submit an applicant to be added to the debian-maintainers keyring, +someone (the applicant or their sponsor) should file a bug on the +debian-maintainers package, attaching a jetring changeset that adds the +applicant's key. A sample.changeset file is provided for your reference. + +The admins will check that: + +* The applicant acknowledges Debian's social contract and free software + guidelines (http://www.debian.org/social_contract), and machine usage + policies (http://www.debian.org/devel/dmup). The applicant should post + a gpg signed mail agreeing with them. +* That the applicant has a valid gpg key, signed by a Debian developer (and + preferably connected to the web of trust by multiple paths). +* That at least one Debian developer (preferably more) is willing to advocate + the applicant's inclusion, in particular that the applicant is technically + competent and good to work with. Advocacy messages should generally be sent + to a Debian mailing list such as debian-newmaint or a more specific team + list. + +To aid in these checks, please provide all the necessary data in the +changeset or in followup mails. -- cgit v1.2.3
