Ubuntu Maintainer's Handbook
============================
# Ubuntu Maintainer's Handbook

This handbook explains how to do the common tasks of an Ubuntu package maintainer. In particular, it explains how the git-ubuntu tool-suite is used for working with Ubuntu packages.

Note that this isn't a policy document; the official policies will be linked to where possible and should be referenced for the officially correct ways to do things. Instead, this is intended to serve as a tutorial style introduction to help new Ubuntu packagers get up to speed.

Similarly, this handbook doesn't attempt to cover topics comprehensively. There are many ways to do things, and some alternate approaches may be faster or better in special cases, but this will try to provide the reader with a solid working knowledge of one robust process for accomplishing work items.

Linking to beginner meetings on IRC which had no update for 11 years seems bad.
You might want to link to #ubuntu-devel instead.

Furthermore there is work on reviving the patch-pilot program, once it is established again that might be an even better place to point to for questions.
