The use of the word valid seems to imply that we did not reach out in a valid way. I don't think IRC should be considered invalid - it's one of the primary ways our community operates. Consider that packagers don't all have the phone numbers of the people who can help. I also don't think admins should be burdened with phone calls every time a packager has trouble with this. About 7% of updates needed to be waived as of last week[2] - it would have been quite a burden to resolve those via phone calls. I appreciate the offer to support problems via personal cell phones, and I may even take that offer up one day, but I don't think it's reasonable to state that it's the only valid means. Further, we need a system that packagers can use without needing admin help - supporting the current system is not scalable (especially if phone calls are needed). I don't think a phone call would have changed the outcome here - even if we had been able to get that one update through, the experience[3] was ample evidence that the system places an unreasonable burden onto packagers, and that disabling it was in the best interest[1] of the Fedora project. We do have a solid plan going forward. In the next days I plan to fix one Bodhi bug[0] that blocks it from integrating with Greenwave. Once that is in place, Bodhi's test gating setting can be turned back on. Greenwave is currently configured to pass all updates. Soon, Greenwave will gain a feature that will let packagers opt-in to test gating in Greenwave. We will use this to gain feedback from packagers who have opted in (I plan to opt in some of my packagers). Once we believe the packager experience around test gating is reasonable based on this feedback, we plan to enforce tests across all packages as we did before.
