The process remains unchanged: + +If you are a Debian Developer or Debian Maintainer and want full LWN access +at HP's expense, just go to lwn.net and create an account for yourself (no +money is required to create a user account). Then, send email to + + lwn-subscription@debian.org + +containing your LWN account name. Sign this email with your key on the +appropriate Debian keyring. Then, exercise patience. Eventually, I will +process your request, and add you to the "Debian Project group" and send +you an email acknowledgement. + +Likewise, if you retire from being a DD or DM, please let me know at the same +address so that I can take you off the Debian subscription. + +I believe I've caught up on all pending requests, but sometimes things get +mis-filed, so if you're still waiting and I haven't replied, please re-send +your request. + +[[!tag tags/debian]] -- 2.30.2
