Security maintainers,

I've submitted a new role SR to be a maintainer of the security
project since I've been pushing a bunch of DFIR packages there
(Digital Forensics / Incident Response).

Assuming I'm accepted, I have a few questions:

1) Is there a guideline for accepting new packages
I submit?  How about patches to packages I maintain.

ie. Can I just submit them from my home and accept them with no review, or
is their a concept of letting another maintainer accept my SRs?  Is
that for both new packages and for updates?

2) Several of the packages require packages from other repos to
install.  That's not a problem for factory / 12.2, but what about
providing packages for 11.4/12.1.  Should I just document that users
need to install multiple repos?  Or should I "osc linkpac" them to
security?  (If so, what's the best syntax for osc linkpac?)

3) dc3dd is currently in the archiving repo, but it makes more sense
to me in the security repo.  I want to push it to factory.  Should I
linkpac it to security first, then push from there?

4) So far I haven't submitted any pen testing tools.  Since those can
be used for both good and bad, I wanted to know if there is a
established policy for that class of tool.  ie. They are encouraged?
discouraged?

5) I'd like to put together a wiki page that let's people know these
DFIR packages exist.  Is there an existing wiki page I can add to?

Thanks
Greg

Thanks
Greg
