[Ubuntu-US-CA] Fwd: Simplified Main Inclusion Request process

[Grant Bowman]

As there was some interest in the decision to remove GIMP from the
default CDs in Lucid I thought this information might be useful to
understand the process going forward. For those not already aware of
the low volume ubuntu-devel-announce list and interested in
development related issues I recommend they subscribe directly.

Hello Ubuntu developers,

after some discussion in the MIR team and on ubuntu-devel@ [1], we
simplified the Main Inclusion Request process to require much less
bureaucracy.

What we really want is reporters to go through the checklist and
discuss the violations of the MIR requirement standards in the bug
report with the MIR team, not write lengthy wiki pages with
boilerplate text (especially not for trivial packages like perl
bindings).

Thus wiki page reports will not be used at all any more from now on.
Instead, we will just use MIR bugs, and discuss the package problems
there (as we already do) and reduce a MIR to the rationale and a
confirmation

 I checked UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements and those were the problems:
   - ...

or

 I checked that the package meets the UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements.

I updated the new process documentation [2] and also ensured that the
requirement checklist [3] is up to date.

Thanks,

Martin
