Debian to officially welcome non-packaging contributors

Today, the Debian Project has overwhelmingly decided in a General
Resolution[1] to formally acknowlege the contribution made by many
people who help Debian in ways other than maintaining packages - by
opening up the process of becoming an officially recognised Debian
Developer.

While the Debian Project has always welcomed non-packaging contributors,
for example documentation writers and translators, there was low takeup
of official Debian Developer status (including full voting rights and
other privileges). As there was no clear documented procedure for these
non-packaging contributors, it was handled on a case-by-case basis.

It was decided to end this nuisance by finally welcoming all
contributors, regardless of the nature of their contribution into the
heart of the Debian Project and invite the Debian Account managers to
establish procedures to evaluate and accept non-packaging contributors.

Ez... akkor most azt jelenti, hogy a forditok is kaphatnak kommit jogot a Debian repoiba? Es ezzel miert vartak ennyit?

Ki oda vagyik, hol szall a galamb, elszalasztja a kincset itt alant.

épp hogy nem kapnak commit jogot se feltöltést a repo-kba. viszont szavazhatnak, illetve ennek a pontos kidolgozását most kérték:

The Debian project, therefore, invites the Debian Account Managers to:

- Endorse the idea that contributors of non-packaging work might become Debian Developers, albeit without upload access to the Debian archive.
- Establish procedures to evaluate and accept contributors of non-packaging work as Debian Developers.
- Initiate the appropriate technical measures to enable contributors of non-packaging work, who get accepted as Debian Developers, to participate in Debian decision making and to access Debian infrastructure.

Kíváncsi vagyok!

A fentiekbe elvileg belefér az is, hogy a non-packaging contributor-ból DD-t csináljanak, a packaging contributor-ból meg nem :) A Debian archive-hoz a világ minden kincséért nem akarnék írási jogot, de ahogy ez most kinéz (a cinikus forgatókönyv szerint), a fordítók előbb fognak szavazati meg géphasználati jogot kapni, mint a szponzorált csomagolók. Pedig milyen jó is lenne hozzáférni néhány kevésbé közhelyes architektúrájú géphez (gondolok itt mindenre, amit a squeeze támogat, és nem i386/amd64/sparc). Meg azért a @debian.org presztízse sem kutya :)
