|| '''CC''' || [http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/council Community Council] || ||
|| '''DaD''' || ? || A community developed alternative to MoM with a nicer interface (e.g. comment feature) (see also MoM). This was built as a possible replacement for MoM during an extended service outage, and has a nicer interface, although it does not support a blacklist. As MoM is part of a larger distributed infrastructure, is it not atomically replaceable. Since the resolution of the service outage, there have been various discussions as to how best merge the systems, as it is admittedly confusing.[https://launchpad.net/dad][https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DaDandMoM] ||

|| '''MC''' || MOTU Council || ["MOTU/Council" ||
|| '''MoM''' || Merge-o-Matic || The official Ubuntu merge system (see also DaD). This lists outstanding packages where there has been a Debian upload since the last Ubuntu upload. These packages may need a merge, or a sync, or not need anything at all, depending on the point in the Ubuntu development cycle, the nature of the changes in Debian, and the opinion of interested developers. Some packages are blacklisted as they are not appropriate to merge or sync from Debian. Nothing listed here is a requirement for action, except as controlled by other policies and procedures, and this site need not be part of any developers workflow, so long as all other guidelines are met.
