While it seems that the FD stage hasn&#8217;t been blocking people for nearly a year, it&#8217;s the DAM stage which has been the biggest blocker. Indeed, on average, 8.3 NMs have been blocked by FD, 16.2 by DAM, and 9.0 by account creation.<\/p>\n<p>I understand that processing NM reports in batch mode makes it more efficient. However, I&#8217;m wondering if processing them 20 per 20, is really that more efficient than processing them 5 per 5, which would justify such long queues. The NEW queue, which used to be a problem, is now being processed on a very regular basis, and <a href=\"http:\/\/heracles.corsac.net\/~corsac\/debian\/new\/\">hasn&#8217;t grown widely recently<\/a>, except after Debconf when the ftpmaster processing NEW was on VAC. Couldn&#8217;t we have the same thing for DAM, account creations, and while we are at it, removals from unstable? Having clearly defined human-crontab-jobs would certainly make working on Debian less frustrating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The current status of the NM process, with 1 NM awaiting FD approval, 7 awaiting DAM approval, and 30 waiting for their accounts to be created, leads people to thinking that the big bottleneck is the account creation stage.
