Maybe somebody can correct me here if, I'm wrong. Well, I was unhappy about the uberpackager/provenpackager situation and that it is too easy to get this status. Ideas resulting of the discussion has been, that uberpackagers/provenpackagers more should be some kind of mentors and to help packagers when needed and requested. Yes, that's more or less currently already case, but I had more the mentor thing in mind. Uberpackagers/provenpackagers should be persons well known to the community and having some presence at packagers. So a person only having 5 packages gets a uberpackager/provenpackager, something really goes wrong IMHO. Yes, we've changed that, but we should not make the status depend on packages or some time at all, but on presence and knowledge of the person. The other thing is, which is much more important, that not a single person can sponsor a uberpackager/provenpackager. I was thinking about some kind of "voting". Of course not a voting that kind, that all current sponsors are getting notified via e-mail, but the possibility, that every sponsor can add +1/0/-1 in FAS to a guy wanting to get uberpackager/provenpackager. And if "charma" of that candidate is +5 or +10 in the end, the guy gets uberpackager/provenpackager. If a sponsor is doing nothing, it's just +0/ -0, but the sponsors should not get bothered about each request of a new candidate. Anyway for that we IMHO must reset the current uberpackager/provenpackager list and restart with an empty one. Otherwise that doesn't make sense to me and it doesn't change nor solve our problems we introduced in the past... Greetings, Robert
