Hey folks! Here's another thing that's been on my todo list for a while. So we still get proventester and bugzapper membership requests regularly, and poor old dr johnson and to a small degree myself laboriously go around telling people 'hi, thanks for joining, but that cake was a lie! please come eat this other delicious cake instead'. It's kinda silly. So it'd be nice to kill those processes a bit harder: I don't have all the specific changes drafted up yet, but my idea would be to actually hide the text on the proventesters and BZ pages that describes the 'joining' processes. When we first hibernated the PT process we kinda thought it might come back again soon, but that doesn't seem to be happening, so let's do it a bit harder now. They would leave a bit of a gap behind, though - it is quite nice to hear from people when they join up, and while we previously decided not to use the QA FAS group because we didn't really have any tasks that needed special privileges, someone pointed out at FUDCon that there are some things within Fedora which require membership of a FAS group, like voting in certain elections. So I think it might be nice if we created a generic QA 'onboarding' process - much like those two, where you just send a mail to the list saying 'hi, I'd like to join' and we say 'welcome!' and add you to the QA FAS group and send you a little introductory mail. We could probably give editbugs privs to people in QA and add all current members of bugzappers/proventesters into the qa group. I can draft up the specific changes later, but does this broad outline sound reasonable to everyone? Any concerns or alternative proposals?
