It is unfortunate, but note that it's unfortunate simply because of our
procedures.  Certainly it would be nice if the functionality for making
new branches and changing monitoring and some bugzilla settings were
integrated directly into src.fp.o; I won't argue against that. However,
that doesn't mean that changing those settings couldn't be accomplished
via some means other than a PR.

Possibilities I can think of include:

* Doing this via tickets in a manner similar to how branches are
     requested.  This would require teaching the ticket processing tools
     how to perform the operation, and writing some tool to submit the
     request.  Kind of a lot of overhead for a rare operation.

* Just storing this information in the package repository.  I've never
     understood why the system can't just extract this information from
     git.  I suspect there must be some reason related to security or
     resources consumption which prevents services from having a shallow
     git clone around from which to grab information like this, but
I'm not
     sure.

This is how it _should_ work. I just looked at the actual implementation
and hotness is doing an HTTP GET to the scm-requests repository. It
makes no sense, each repo should have a "monitoring" file or something.
  From the perspective of hotness, nothing changes. I have no idea why it
was put in a central repository.
I started to maintain the-new-hotness few months ago, so I don't know why
there is
some central repository. I agree with Jeremy that the best option is to have
monitoring
information directly in package repository.
The original idea, I believe, was to allow for the file to different per branch
without breaking the one branch for all releases that many packager like.
That doesn't make sense to me. Are you saying people might want
different files per branch, but also only have one branch in their dist-
git? Or is this only about the modularity/stream branching thing?
The thought was that people may want different behavior per branch without
having different files/content per branch.
So the-new-hotness notifies about 0.1 in EPEL and 1.0 in F29 and 2.0 in master.
This type of scenario becoming increasingly possible with stream branching.
I don't think the-new-hotness does anything like this. It just files the issue in Bugzilla that new version is out.

I'm trying to remember the thought process from back then, I'm not saying it was
perfect, that it is still valid nor that we cannot change it, just trying to
give some context :)
