The last delegation mail contained a typo in the revocation line. It
said "Debian Policy delegation" where it should have said "FTP Master
delegation".  This is fixed now.  There are no additional changes.
Sorry for the noise.


Dear fellow developers,

As per Debian Constitution =A78, I hereby appoint the following developers
as FTP Masters:

 - Thorsten Alteholz (alteholz)
 - Ansgar Burchardt  (ansgar)
 - Joerg Jaspert     (joerg)
 - Luke W. Faraone   (lfaraone)

This delegation reflects the resignation of Mark Hymers from Debian.  I
would like to thank Mark for his many years of service, in particular
for his work on point releases, which has been greatly appreciated.

Any previous FTP Master delegation not explicitly listed above is
revoked. The delegation is not time-limited and will be effective until
further changes by present or future Project Leaders.


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

FTP Masters, commonly referred to as "ftpmaster", oversee and maintain
the well-being of Debian's official package repositories.  FTP Masters
are responsible for tasks that include:

- Running the archive, maintaining the corresponding infrastructure
  (e.g. the tools used for processing uploaded packages and the tools
  used to move packages across suites).

- Supporting the Release Managers, ensuring that packages move across
  releases properly, according to the rules defined by the Release
  Managers.

- Accepting and rejecting packages that enter the NEW and byhand queues.

- Maintaining the state of packages and the archive via priority and
  section override files.

- Maintaining the software used to run the archive, namely the Debian
  Archive Kit (dak).

- Maintaining clear documentation of the team's key processes,
  especially those related to releases, to support transparency and
  contributor involvement.


Appendix
--------

- More info about the FTPMaster team can be found on the Debian wiki[1].

- The FTP team also includes a number of "FTP assistants" and "FTP
  trainees"[2] who have access to a subset of the tasks performed by
  full FTP masters. While their contributions are greatly appreciated,
  these roles do not require a formal delegation.


I'm explicitly thanking the FTPMaster team for their work

  Andreas, Debian Project Leader
