I think it should at least be reasonable to set a relatively high bar for being a provenpackager. Proven packagers really should be people who are deeply involved in Fedora work on a daily basis, I think, and so should be able to respond to a regular check-in process like this or the one bcotton proposed. And the result would only be that they'd lose provenpackager privileges, which could quite easily be restored if it turned out they'd just gone on a yak farming retreat for a bit or something. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
