This is just a heads up that I'm in the progress of getting python

I need a clear policy statement with regard to how the frell I'm
suppose to get my python packages in Extras rebuilt in a timely

Do i have the authority to bump release packages underneath mine as

IMHO: yes; see

We should add the current problem at hand to the section below to make
it explicit for the future.
Minor, general or cleanup changes
Sometimes there are situations where it's simply a lot easier to fix
stuff directly in cvs than via bugzilla and the proper maintainers.
So much easier that we should leave this path open. These situations
shouldn't arise that often. Some examples of situations were
bypassing the proper maintained is considered fine:
* support for a new architecture -- that often requires that a lot of
packages need adjustments or patches that packagers often can't even
test themself. Getting all those modifications in via bugzilla is a
lot of annoying work, so these things can be fixed directly in the
devel branch of cvs without contacting the individual maintainers if
the general effort was announced beforehand. A SIG should handle the
stuff and continue with normal operations after the initial porting
efforts are finished.
