 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 €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 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
