So, there needs to be a way to open this up beyond maintainers. Having a system to maintain links to the package we are trying to get assignment for would be good. Currently, we are talking about assignment for Emacs, of course, but knowing that we are asking for assignment wrt to magit, rather than any other package, would be helpful. Having something which handles something like blocking would be nice also. i.e. we start a bug wrt to magit for assignment, then all the assignment requests would be blockers. Then we would know when we are finished. > > In general, people who bump into bureaucratic impediments related to > GNU or FSF should ask for help.

I would agree. I don't like debbugs either. But, given the length of time, for example, it has taken to discuss CI or project hosting alternatives, it has the advantage of already existing. Phil
