From: tille@debian.org   
      
   Dear fellow developers,   
      
   As per Debian Constitution §8, I hereby appoint the following developers   
   as members of the Debian Archive Operations Team (in short Archive team):   
      
    * Thorsten Alteholz (alteholz)   
    * Ansgar Burchardt  (ansgar)   
    * Joerg Jaspert     (joerg)   
    * Luke W. Faraone   (lfaraone)   
      
   This new team is spun off from the former FTP Master team. With its   
   creation, the previous FTP Master delegation is revoked. The delegation   
   is not time-limited and will remain in effect until further changes by   
   the present or a future Project Leader.   
      
      
   Task Description   
   ----------------   
      
   The Debian Archive Operations Team oversees and maintains the well-being   
   of Debian's official package repositories. Team members are responsible   
   for tasks including:   
      
    * Operating the archive and maintaining its infrastructure (e.g. tools   
      for processing uploads, moving packages across suites).   
      
    * Supporting other DPL Delegates in the execution of their delegated   
      tasks.   
      
    * Managing packagages handled byhand currently.   
      
    * Removing packages when requested or required, whether as part of   
      routine maintenance or in exceptional circumstances.   
      
    * Maintaining package state and archive structure via priority and   
      section override files.   
      
    * Maintaining the software used to run the archive, namely the Debian   
      Archive Kit (dak).   
      
    * Documenting the team's key processes, especially those related to   
      releases, to support transparency and contributor involvement.   
      
      
   Further information   
   -------------------   
      
   More details about the Debian Archive Operations Team can be found on   
   the Debian Wiki[1].   
      
   I would like to explicitly thank the former FTP Master team for their   
   longstanding work.   
      
      
   Thanks
