The incentives are nice, but I'm more interested in allowing people to choose their level of participation in a particular part of the project. For example, there are a large number of packages that I care about, but I don't need to own. I just want to be informed when there are changes. Or if someone is doing translations for a particular package, they should be able to watch that package for changes and jump in when that happens. As near as I can tell that's not easy right now. Some examples of the kinds of things that I'm talking about: o Watcher - "I care about this package." o Developer - "I should be consulted when there are major changes to this package." o Owner - "I am accountable for changes in this package. The buck stops here." o Hacker - "I can make changes to this package." (Extra bonus points to Red Hat people who know where these four things come from.) People will naturally work their way up the stack, and this is more self-descriptive than just numbers. And I would think in terms of responsibilities, not merit badges. We want delegation to scale here. --Chris -- 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
