Hi all, I am facing a bit of a pickle and I would like to discuss this out in the open here. Please keep and open mind while reading. There has been an effort to open-source some of our tests that we have in Red Hat and we decided to place them in the tests/* namespace in Fedora dist-git[1]. Now, our team has some 10 maintainers and we own almost 200 packages in RHEL8(way more than that in Fedora). For all these packages we have only three people in the QE team to test them. So here is the problem: Let us assume, that we create a repository for each component in the tests/* namespace. Now we need to assign access to QE member to these repositories. It would make sense to create a group that would include our package maintainers as well as our QE colleagues. This would help a lot when it comes to stuff changes for instance. As discussed here[2], the only problem here is "once a group is created, it can be given commit access to all projects in the tests/ namespace, but also to any project in the rpms/ namespace or the modules/ namespace and everyone who is committing to these namespaces must be in the packager groups. Thus the requirement for pkgdb group to require the packager membership." But our colleagues from QE don't have sponsorship and therefore are not in the packager group. There are those in RH who said that they would give them sponsorship for these purposes if it is required but I am not sure if that is the right way to do this and I would like to discuss it here. Any input on this is appreciated.
