Backports Team delegation
=========================

I'm sorry for my mistake to copy-and-paste from last delegation text
while not remembering Rhonda changed her name.  I'd like to immediately
fix the appointment for the Backports Team.  The correct team member
list is:

  - Alexander Wirt <formorer>
  - Rhonda D'Vine  <rhonda>
  - Micha Lenk     <micha>

This delegation addet the new member Micha Lenk - thanks to Micha for
volunteering for this task.  Sorry for Rhonda for my mistake in the
latest, now invalid appointment.  The delegation is not time-limited. It
will be effective until further changes by present or future DPLs.

Task Description
----------------

The Backports Team oversee and maintain the well-being of Debian's
backport service that allow Debian Developers to prepare backported
packages for Debian users. Members of the Backports Team are responsible
for tasks that include:

 - Defining the policy for backports upload, in consultation with
   Developers.

 - Running the archive infrastructure that powers the backports service,
   usually with the support of the FTP Masters.

 - Accepting and rejecting NEW packages that enter the backports
   repository (AKA "NEW queue processing" for the backports service).

 - Managing the keyring that control upload access to the backports
   service, performing tasks such as adding, removing, and updating keys.
