I think some automated tooling for this would be very beneficial - basically something like a GitHub/GitLab pull request for the distgit repo, that fires an email notification once submitted. There could be two types of pull requests - one "normal" that needs to be accepted by the maintainer and one "timed" that proven-packagers can submit that self-applies after say 48 hours. The main advantage would be that you can just "fire away" without having to ask for permission and the system takes care for the rest - by notifying the maintainer and giving him the chance to review the changes before they are applied (and to possibly apply them differently, etc.). > > josh > -- > devel mailing list > devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
