True, Sorry, I should have clarified it better: this would solve the problem I see way more present of unresponsive maintainers preventing new maintainers to maintain packages. > Besides this, 7 days would be much too short. 4 weeks would be much more > appropriate. If a person is not able to make a click in 7 days (maybe vacation periods could be excluded from the count), why should he be able to do so in the following 21 days? Also, Fedora already have ACL cases where the POC/PA have 7 days to respond, otherwise a positive response is assumed. > >- introduce an (optional) text box to allow to bundle a message with the > > ACL request > Such a message should be mandatory, because I've received ACLs from people > I've never heard before and from "inexperienced and overly eager > new-comers". I have said optional because a lot of times the asking-maintainer and the POC already knows each others. Obviusly a small message could be ok in those cases as well. > >- allow (and force) a formal message in the case of ACL denial > This would mean to allow people to implement ACL-request spam, with the load > ending on those peoples' shoulders who are actually doing the Fedora work. I don't see how this could happend. Maybe I explained my thought in a bad way. I'll try to explain with an example: - user A asks ACL for package X - X POC decides to decline A request. In my proposal, X must justify the decline. Best, Fale -- Fabio Alessandro Locati PGP Fingerprint: B960 BE9D E7A8 FA12 273A 98BB 6D6A 29D6 709A 7851 https://keybase.io/fale
