At the last fesco meeting we talked about the ramifications of allowing any person in the packager grop to commit to packages and decided that rather than having more accounts and acls on to manage this, that it was desirable to change the responsibilities of sponsors and maintainers. The goal is to stop saying that a sponsor is responsible for cleaning up after their sponsorees should the sponsoree start making bad commits to a bunch of packages. Instead, the burden of looking for such bad commits goes to the package maintainers who choose to open their packages to the packager group. We want to encourage more sponsors to take on people that are not yet good packagers but have the potential to grow into good packagers with a little mentoring. Updated policy drafts are here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_sponsor_responsibilities%28draft%29 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainer_responsibilities%28draft%29 and will be on the agenda for next weeks FESCo meeting. -Toshio
