Well, don't tell me the elected Maemo council cannot discuss/influence CSSU maintainers about important projects. No matter what someone say, AIUI CSSU is not the same thing it was founded to be (i.e. only security/bug fixes) for long enough time. And TBH I think it is time Council to start some involvement in CSSU, being the project of the same if not bigger importance than for example COBS.

Best way to include anything in CSSU seems to be through IRC communication with actual maintainers (expect some resistance, however).
Resistance? For a sane project? Come on man, it is not like that . Yes, it is me saying it, despite endless arguing we had and still have from time to time with joerg :P .

The only question that The Council is able to deal with, is about the possibility to add dependencies with CSSU packages in Extras applications. That has been proposed previously, and seems quite reasonable, as it will allow app developers to use updates libraries such as Qt and others.

Unfortunately, up to now we haven't had too much control over autobuilder and repositories and every time we had tried to fix any issue, it took ages. This is something that should be improved with the movement to self sustained infrastructure and with the new community OBS, however, do not expect it to happen very soon.

My personal view on this thing is that if you join the CSSU team, more underliying libraries and core components could be upgraded in a cleaner way. Definitively, upgrading this stuff via Extras is not a sane path.
