I can't think of any policy change that has happened lately. It's
perfectly fine if you spend your efforts on one package that you're
upstream of: you know it best and it's great to have you around.

https://edge.launchpad.net/~scottritchie/+packages looks pretty sparse.
Who sponsored your uploads? Was your name in the changelog of all
uploads? Were there any changes you made to the package you were
particularly proud of?

It's harder to demonstrate your packaging skills based on your work on
just one package, but it's certainly do-able. I know you've been around
for a long long time, but I can't really grasp what you've done (and
learned) packaging-wise since then. If you could add some information to
this thread that clarifies this or CC your sponsors, that'd be great.

It'd be great to see spring in Ubuntu.

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
