AFAIK this includes the e-mail alias for @fedoraproject.org.

Does this meant that they will get commit access to all branches of a project or can they also become a package owner? Can they become the default bug assignee for a project without being in the packager group? > So I would like to ask if we are fine with stopping to require the membership of > the packager group to contributors? > > I do not see the packager group disappearing entirely since it will still be > needed for package reviews and we have given rel-eng tooling to check and enforce > this on new package requests, but I think it makes sense to stop this requirement > to commit on dist-git repos. If I understand this correctly, this would mean that there could be maintainers for a package that would not be reachable via the @fedoraproject.org alias? If this is correct it would make it harder to reach everyone when sending notifications about packages depending on orphaned packages as I use the @fedoraproject.org alias for this. > What do you think? I believe it is a great idea to allow everyone to fill PRs but I do not yet understand to the full package workflow when moving to just pagure instead of pkgdb I must confess. I added my open questions about the workflow to the wiki so the answers can be made available to everyone: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/WhatHappenedToPkgdb#How_do_I_orphan_a_package.3F Regards Till
