We (or better the osc tool) do route changes by default to the development 
project yes.

But we do not forbid submissions bypassing this. This is not the recommended 
way, but may be necessary in some cases (see below).

However, in the end you should get these changes automatically when you use 
source links. Yes, concflicts can appear and need get merged manually like 
with cvs, svn and friends as well.

I have not checked what kind of submissions these are in your case.

I heard that Rudi needed to fix several hundred packages (all with the same 
fix) to get Factory building again after an incompatible change in a base 
package. This is a situation where we do not want to ask and wait for feedback 
from each maintainer, because we need Factory working ASAP.

If there are other contributions, which could have submitted to your project, 
please ask the people direct to do this in future.

Yes, we have the general policy that people should use the development 
project. But in the end it is just a recommendation, because the way how 
people develop their packages differs a lot (this is partly caused also by the 
upstream project).

So, please try to find a solution with the people. CC me if you want feedback 
(or give feedback to OBS) during this.

thanks a lot for your work

and happy new year :)
