This isn't the cabal handing down yet another policy from their palace on high; I think we should try being constructive by at least brainstorming ideas for what such a proposal might entail rather than blindly speculating about it as though we don't have any input. One possibility could be allowing pushes to stable if one of the following is true: * Net karma of at least +x * Positive karma from at least one member of QA or releng * At least y days have passed since submission to testing That last case is important for packages with few, if any, testers that provide feedback. I own one of those, for instance. Updates should at least be allowed to go directly to stable if the update is submitted for a push to stable by a QA or releng person. One way I can see this working is the packager creating the update, then hopping on IRC and asking someone to submit it for stable. Now there are probably some glaring issues with the ideas I'm throwing around here, but maybe we can use them as a starting point for a policy draft that isn't as invasive as some of us seem to fear. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
