Well, Robert Schweikert's "maintainer model clean up" http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-10/msg00282.html should help here, albeit not much has resulted from the proposal.
Well, maybe not in this case. In general we cleaned up heavily. Still I somewhat agree that it didn't help raising awareness as we hoped it would.
Project maintainers still get Hermes notifications about single packages and thus feel inclined to hit the accept buttons...
Personally, I don't use Hermes but from time to time I look at projects where I have maintainer rights and accept requests that are more than a month old and make sense to me. I think this could be the "sensible middle way" Ludwig wants? -- Sascha Peilicke SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
