Raphaël Hertzog: DSA needs a leader
Seriously. Now that we have been using the request tracker for quite some time, it’s even more obvious that the DSA team is not up to its task.
Use login “guest” and password “readonly” if you want to check the RT tickets linked in this article.
The facts
- 65 public tickets open (and 5 private tickets)
- Want to help and seek input from DSA? No response.
- Want to help and you provide patches and/or solutions? Many are still waiting.
- Security updates? Who cares…
- Backup of ftp-master (ries)? No reply (though ftp-master stuff is mirrored on merkel)…
- New alpha machine? No movement despite the fact that we still have no DD-accessible porter machine.
- 68 tickets closed. Here are some unscientific and manual stats (I counted one each time that someone was involved for the work or for closing the ticket):
- 27 for James Troup (elmo)
- 26 for Phil Hands (fil)
- 13 for me (buxy)
- 3 for Martin ‘Joey’ Schulze (those I manually forwarded him)
- 3 for Ryan Murray (neuro)
- 3 for Matt Taggart (taggart)
- 2 for Josip Rodin (he handles tickets concerning the mirrors until they have a dedicated queue in the RT)
