Alexander Reichle-Schmehl created Debian bug #710000 on Monday May 27th 2013, against the ftp.debian.org pseudo-package, by cloning a bug report by Rene Engelhard. So, technically speaking, Rene reported this bug....but Tolimar is responsible for that. Bug #700000 was reported as of February 7th: 3 months and 20 days for 10,000 bugs. This is again a VERY significant drop in the bug reporting rate in Debian. Is that related to the release of jessie? We'll see that in the upcoming 4 months.

I hereby pledge, that for every mail I send into a thread on the private Debian list with more than 10 mails, I will fix a release critical bug in a foreign package.

Already chilled by Wheezy freeze? It s been a long ride since the release of Squeeze, and your beloved FTP Team tried to assist our tireless developers and contributors at its best. Here are some hot stats to give you a figure about what happened behind the scenes. Since the release of Squeeze, 7462 .changes files with NEW components were processed by dak, with an average of 14.660 NEW packages per day. On the FTP Team side, we had 6877 accepts (13.511 per day), 641 rejects (1.259 per day) and 280 comments to maintainers (0.550 per day). This table represents the activity by single team member:

Login	Accepts	Rejects	Comments
ansgar	407 accepts (0.800 per day)	71 rejects (0.139 per day)	53 comments (0.104 per day)
dak	12 accepts (0.024 per day)	1 rejects (0.002 per day)	0 comments (0.000 per day)
dktrkranz	4319 accepts (8.485 per day)	381 rejects (0.749 per day)	104 comments (0.204 per day)
joerg	100 accepts (0.196 per day)	12 rejects (0.024 per day)	1 comments (0.002 per day)
mhy	214 accepts (0.420 per day)	14 rejects (0.028 per day)	5 comments (0.010 per day)
stew	67 accepts (0.132 per day)	16 rejects (0.031 per day)	7 comments (0.014 per day)
tolimar	1480 accepts (2.908 per day)	93 rejects (0.183 per day)	84 comments (0.165 per day)
twerner	278 accepts (0.546 per day)	53 rejects (0.104 per day)	26 comments (0.051 per day)

Who were the most prolific maintainers who got a NEW processing? Here is our special top ten:

1. Debian Perl Group (559 accepts)
2. Debian Haskell Group (491 accepts)
3. Debian Ruby Extras Maintainers (285 accepts)
4. Debian Java Maintainers (257 accepts)
5. Debian Med Packaging Team (164 accepts)
6. Debian Multimedia Maintainers (160 accepts)
7. Debian Fonts Task Force (156 accepts)
8. Debian Javascript Maintainers (137 accepts)
9. Debian Python Modules Team (129 accepts)
10. Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers (98 accepts)

That doesn t reflect the real developers, though. Here s our Changed-By top ten:

1. Clint Adams (216 accepts)
2. Jonas Smedegaard (208 accepts)
3. Ben Hutchings (203 accepts)
4. Joachim Breitner (153 accepts)
5. TANIGUCHI Takaki (112 accepts)
6. Alessio Treglia (101 accepts)
7. David Paleino (95 accepts)
8. Nicholas Bamber (76 accepts)
9. Mathieu Parent (68 accepts)
10. Jeff Breidenbach (63 accepts)

Clint rocks with tons of Haskell packages, followed by Jonas (mostly Perl packages), and Ben (kernel uploads). Italian cabal stands still, with Alessio and David respectively at 6th and 7th place

How long does a package stay in NEW? Some more, some less, but the average is 3 days, 15 minutes and 21 seconds. Now go and check your dak mails to see whether you had a fast processing or not liblog4ada 1.2-1 surely had, as it was accepted after 30 seconds! gsoap 2.7.17-1 was not so lucky, it took 103 days, 8 hours, 20 minutes and 43 seconds to clear NEW, but then made its way to the archive. Better late than never
