I've given python co-maintainer ship to the only non-RH person who has asked for it. On the other hand, if you seemed sane and I gave it to you ... and then you broke python so that Zope could work, I'm not likely to be impressed :). > I think the main version packagers should allowed to have commit access > to the compat packages instead. In case compat packager breaks main > version, the main version packager can fix it... That implies we don't mind it being broken for a while ... given how important python is we _really_ don't like it breaking in a non-trivial way (or eg. yum doesn't work, and you can't update out of your problem) Also that's not how the breaks happen, it's not like you get file conflicts etc. ... you get multiple dep. providers and there's no way to fix that by changing the main python package. -- James Antill <james.antill@xxxxxxxxxx> Red Hat
