+ * Sec. "Maintaining Your Public Key" -- give email addresses as

+developers-reference (2.6.0) frozen unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * would be nice to sneak this into slink; it's just documentation!
+ * Ch. "Porting and Being Ported": porter information broken out into it's
+ own chapter, Sec. "Guidelines for Porter Uploads" and "When to do a
+ source NMU if you are a porter" moved to this chapter; porter tool
+ descriptions such as 'quinn-diff' moved to this section. Sec. "Being
+ Kind to Porters" added, with tips for how to avoid making problems for
+ porters.
+ * Ch. "Non-Maintainer Uploads (NMUs)": update for the new chapter, and
+ tighten up the language a bit
+ * Sec. "Monitoring bugs": add a little cron job to get an 'index maint'
+ of outstanding bugs (closes Bug#31259), loosen language a tiny bit
+ w.r.t. non-maintainers or submitters closing bugs (closes Bug#30394)
+ * Sec. "Scope of This Document": point out that this file is not
+ official policy
+ * Ch. "Handling Bugs": renamed from "Handling Bug Reports", incorporate
+ some suggestions from James Troup, namely, don't mail from your root
+ account, don't close bugs via control@bugs.debian.org; break out new
+ sections, "Submitting Bugs" and "Responding to Bugs"
+ * Ch. "Overview of Debian Maintainer Tools": remove attribution for
+ package maintainers, since I can't keep up; add entries for fakeroot
+ and devscripts
+ * Ch. "Maintaining Your Debian Information": new chapter, quite small
+ right now; it mentions keyring-maint@debian.org for key modification,
+ warns against putting private keys on multi-user machines, and talks
+ about how to depart Debian gracefully
+ * typo correction from Christian Hudon (closes Bug#32052)
+ * menu file removed, obsoleted by doc-base file
+ * parameterize some often-changing values with SGML entities, update
+ number of available packages
+ * use new way of notating multiple copyrights
+ * change <tt> elements to <file> where appropriate
