tl; dr: I have submitted the following RFE for pkgdb: https://github.com/fedora-infra/pkgdb2/issues/274 Please add comments there if you have any. I know I'm not the only provenpackager to have applied a bugfix to someone's package only to be yelled at it for it. Some maintainers are more prickly about having others touch the packages they maintain for the community than others, and unfortunately there's currently just no way to know whether you'll be thanked or flamed for helping out with a package. After some IRC discussion I've come to the following proposal: that maintainers have some way to easily indicate how open they are to external contributions. Basically this would take the form of a few options in pkgdb where maintainers can indicate their willingness to have provenpackagers carry out a few actions. Please read the github ticket for details: https://github.com/fedora-infra/pkgdb2/issues/274 This would be purely advisory, with hopefully reasonable defaults. I believe it has the potential to eliminate quite a bit of friction that provenpackagers must handle, as well as eliminate the hesitation some of us feel for fear of being flamed. - J< -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
