If I'm reading jwb's proposal correctly, I'm perfectly fine with this
sort of process. I don't want to overwhelm releng with a lot of spin
proposals, and at the same time I don't want to block access to the
trademarks unnecessarily for a baseline technical review that could be
handled by a community group with less experience than embodied in
releng. If we need to put another group together to do that first
analysis, I think we can do it by getting all the people working spins
now, to sit down and work out a mutual assistance plan as a necessary
step before we bless anymore spins.
Bingo. Big +1 to this paragraph.
Technical review and quality are important. But at the same time, we
don't want to run into a problem that used to (maybe still does) plague
Extras/PackageMaintainers with a huge number of items to review, and
only a handful of already very busy people available to do the reviews.
This leads to legitimately good work just sitting around going stale.
I feel like this conversation is being framed as the people who are "pro
quality" and the people who are "anti-quality". That's simply untrue.
What we are looking for is a reasonably lightweight, reasonably scalable
process that can *promote and ensure* quality.
