OT? The question here isn't really what submitters do or don't, isn't
it what we could do to improve the process?.
The point is that not all submitters are collaborative, and others don't
seek for sponsors actively. In the needsponsor queue are lots of tickets
where packages are not ready or where a reviewer is simply waiting for
the submitter to respond. It isn't sooooo easy to find submitters who
are willing for compromise and adapt the Fedora's requirements.
People are note always nice, agreed. But isn't part of the problem
that current process forces people which just are interested in a
package to suddenly discover that they are applying to be packagers?
Shouldn't some of these cases be better off if they could drop
"their" package in some kind of wishlist 2.0, and try to get in
contact with a packager instead?
I am thinking about some "dumping" repository, where people would dump
their packages and they would need almost no qualification. Of course
using such packages would be without any warranty. The packages would
not be owned by anybody, so everybody would improve them (or eventually
corrupt them ;)). Once somebody would be interested enough to become
official maintainer, he would apply to official review and the package
would get into official Fedora repo.
Actually it shouldn't be that hard to achieve it with tiny changes to
current infrastructure IMO. It seems to be still better option then to
trust to 3rd party repo or OBS.
