The magic words above were "(or get them packaged)". Our separate SCM
setup really just means they don't want to futz with it. However, if
the process for an upstream developer was more like:
Develop in their own SCM, push SCM changes to (Fedora/Debian/SuSE
repos), kick off build process in (Fedora/Debian/SuSE), done. Well, I
can list a few developers that might finally be willing to manage
packaging their own stuff up where as right now they simply don't want
to.
