Hi all,
Over on the -devel list, there was an announcement
that pkgdb2 is growing the capability to allow groups
to be package owners and points of contact, instead of
individual committers. What this means for us is that
we can assign the normal package rights to a single
"robotics-sig" group (e.g. watchcommits,
watchbugzilla, commit, etc.), and all of the members
of the "robotics-sig" pkgdb group would in turn be
granted all of those rights. It'd make it a lot
easier to collaborate on packages without having to
individually request commit rights for all of them.
I'd like to start testing it, and I plan on setting
the sig group as a co-maintainer on most of the
packages that I own. But before I do, i wanted to get
some feedback on a mailing list issue.
The package groups require an email address in pkgdb and
a corresponding bugzilla account for bugzilla mail,
commit messages, etc. to go to. The easiest option is
to set it all to this list (robotics@), but that would
mean a lot of traffic with commit updates, bug mail, and
such for all of the packages that the "robotics-sig"
group co-owns and has watch rights to. It would mean a
large uptick in volume on the list, and maybe bury other
meaningful conversation.
So moving forward we have a couple of options, which I'd
like you to weigh in on:
* Start a separate list (e.g. robotics-sig-maint@) for
package related mail and make it private to the members of
the robotics sig pkgdb members.
* Use the robotics@ list, but be careful not to assign the
robotics-sig group any of the "watch" rights in pkgdb
* Use the robotics@ list, and just deal with bugmail and git
commit messages
I'm leaning more towards the second or third options, since I
don't really feel like we'll need to have any private bugs and
since we don't have tons of traffic with git commits and bugs
and such.

Hi Rich,
I prefer the second option. Some watch rights might be OK, but
probably not all of them.
