Hello,
3 months ago, Miro opened releng ticket[0] raising question whether
non-maintainers (of some specific packages) being able to request
branches.
However, it never went anywhere outside of that ticket.
I'd like to ask people on this mailing list a few questions. Let's say
we have some theoretical package and it has only one maintainer in
src.fp.o.
* Should any other packager (not that maintainer) be able to request
new branches on that repo?
IMHO Yes, but there are a few preconditions:
When Anna requests an epel8 branch on "my" package:
- she maintains it, not me.
- I want to get notified to coordinate with her (in case I actually want to
maintain it in epel8).
So until we have branch ownership and proper notifications, no.
> * Should provenpackager be able to do the same request?
Only if they are becoming regular maintainers. Provenpackagers requesting
branches of packages where they are not maintainers is the worst combination. As
said relatively recently somewhere else on this mailing list, they will create
it, but nobody will actually maintain it. They will not be even notified on new
bugzillas until they explicitly set that up somehow.
