* Till Maas [26/03/2010 18:00] :
You added the section about informing upstream about half a year ago,
therefore I guess the majority of package maintainer did not do this. I
know I never did this, unless they already list other distributions or I
had to send a patch.
I've always done this (although I suppose a number of packages have
fallen through the cracks), even before that section was there.
Interestingly enough, the first upstream I informed replied that I was
the first packager to do so despite the fact that his work was already
featured in a number of distributions.
