BTW, FESCo discussed the whole co-maintainership proposal a little bit in yesterdays meeting. I'll revisit the proposal and hope to come up with something that will get into the same direction, but a bit differently, in the hope to make more people glad. But that might take some time.

"Learning by doing" and especially the part "*making errors* and learn from them" (¹) is IMHO important, especially for packaging. In other words: I don't think a IRC packaging tutorial will be a big help as those that will give that tutorial will probably be experts already and experts often forgot all those small errors they did in the beginning. CU thl (¹) -- read: making errors in this case means: make errors while being co-maintainer, get told by the primary maintainer before the package gets build or hits the repo. And *no*, I don't want to force that on anybody. It's something that primary maintainer *can* do if they want. -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
