Debian’s proposed tag2upload
service would be worthy of an article
even if it wasn’t so contentious; tag2upload promises a
streamlined way for Debian developers using Git to upload packages to
the Debian
Archive. But tag2upload has been in limbo for
years due to disagreement and a communication breakdown between the team
behind tag2upload and the ftpmasters team. It took the
threat of a General
Resolution (GR), weeks of discussion, and more than
1,000 emails to finally move forward.
