Neal, is there a nuance > that I'm missing between these cases? > The nuance is usually that ISVs often are forking packages and maintaining their own fixes without being a regular contributor to Fedora. Sometimes that includes just maintaining personal branches in forks in pagure, other times it's on a separate server. I mentioned the *via mirroring* to distinguish from the normal fork+submit+forget case, because there's a slightly unusual concern in that persistent trees might be maintained. I wanted to highlight that we have a path and workflow for handling integration of those fixes, and we should keep having that. This is often the case for me as an ISV person (rather than Fedora contributor person). And I'm aware of several others that operate this way. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to council-discuss-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
