That's a point, I do not agree with and have never agreed with.

It's best to assume good intentions. Put yourself into my position: A person, which has been completely unknown to me dropped out of the blue and requested an EPEL7 branch. Something many people have done before. Many of them "hit the wall", when they realized that this is not a easy task. Actually, this is the reason why EPEL - esp. wrt. perl modules - is far behind Fedora (with all consequences: insecure, broken, outdated) Another problem related to this: Unlike pkgdb, pagure lacks the concept of per-branch maintainers. This means to grant the person full access of the package. > On the technical side: > > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/ > WhatHappenedToPkgdb#How_do_I_give_a_user_commit_access_to_a_dist-git_repo.3F Sigh. This is a parent page of what left me clueless above.
