Subject: Re: Revamping the non responsive maintainer process
So give me the permission [1] as well as the others who requested it
before me.
Apparently the current owner doesn't care. You can compare the
version
history in koji [2] and [3] and if he doesn't care about one
package,
it
is reasonable to doubt that the other packages will be in better
state.
The problem here is that pkgdb requests are not auto approved after
some timeout period if the maintainer hasn't reacted.
That would be sweet if it would be auto approved.
Do you want a backdoor permitting all script kidz and overzealous, but
unexperienced newcomers to automatically take over packages?
Come on, there are the same alarmist who think that Wikipedia will be
hijacked and destroyed but have it happened any time?
Well, you might not be aware about it, but at least de.wikipedia.org
does have similiar problems as we are discussing here.
You are still maintainer, you are still owner and you are notified by
email about every change in your package, so you'll be able to catch
such activity pretty soon and act accordingly.
You get notified when the damage is done
Definitely, we are not in age of Minority Report yet, but even Pre-crime
had its issues.
, e.g. when your spec file has been modified to your dissatisfaction
and when the package already has entered rawhide.
All that's left to you unless these changes immediately break
something, is to either silently swallow these changes or to revert
them sometime later.
I usually either missed or forgot about the request or deliberately do
not yet want to approve.
That said, what I feel is missing in Fedora's pkgdb web-forms is an
option to "leave a comment to applicant" and an "some automated
reminder mechanisms" to remind "approvers" about pending requests.
There is bugzilla, but it is definitely not the most flexible tool on
the world.
Wrt. bugzilla, similar considerations apply: BZ-mails are sent out
once and therefore are easy to forget/miss.
