From: tille@debian.org   
      
   Dear fellow developers,   
      
   As per Debian Constitution §8, 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 Debian Policy 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
