It's occasionally necessary to reconsider the shape of the archive tree itself. Keeper also provides high-level support for this. Then browse keeper's on-line help. They support a larger group of topic specialists. We encourage new co-maintainers to start by picking a topic specialty.
Any maintainer can process stuff out of the Incoming directory.
The watch-list feature guarantees that if you are a topic specialist interested in the directory where the package lands, you'll be notified and be able to review and possibly correct the action. How we make decisions We believe in finding competent people, encouraging them to take responsibility for a piece of the job that interests them, and letting authority follow responsibility. Everybody involved is too busy with their piece of the job and lots of other projects to waste time joggling each others' elbows. Accordingly, we don't often try to make group decisions at all, nor need to. When we do, we operate by consensus.
