I think i haven't explain myself as i should. The thing was that: developer A uploaded a package on the past release circle, then a merge was publiched on MoM, a contributor take the merge, work on it and upload the debdiff to launchpad reporting the bug as it needs to be, the developer A commented on that bug report, so we can be sure that he knows about the contributor working on that merge, then developer B work on that merge and upload it by himself without noticing the bug report and contributor's work.<br> That, on the side of the contributor, being a new one, is a really bad thing because he wanted to be his work on the repos, but not only it isn't there, it has been done and uploaded by someone else.<br>DaD's comments were a good feature to avoid such things, if contributor left a comment in there, the developer B could see it and work on another merge.<br> <br> <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 13, 2008 at 2:43 AM, Mathias Gug <<a href="mailto:mathiaz@ubuntu.com">mathiaz@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Hi Nicolas,<br> <div> <div></div> <div class="Wj3C7c"><br>On Mon, May 12, 2008 at 07:51:47PM -0500, Nicolas Valcarcel wrote:<br>> Hi,<br>>     Since hardy i have notice that some times contributions are not taking<br>> into account, mostly on merges.
