The bureaucracy is why I stopped contributing packages to Factory.
Simple as that.
Getting a package building and functioning is enough work. I just don't have the energy/time to pass the Factory 'bar' afterwards.
The interesting point here is that both parties are satisfied.
I don't read Klaus' statement as one of satisfaction. I infer he still wishes he could have found someone who was willing to work with him to get the package into Factory.
OK, poor wording on my side. I should say - situation is balanced.
We've got good and maintainable distribution with good package quality.
The sentence above indicates to me that you don't wish the distribution to grow the number of components offered for an installer's choice at installation of openSUSE because that would increase the difficulty in maintaining the package quality. I agree, it would increase the effort required to maintain the quality.
My impression is that you shift the meaning of what I write. English is not my mother tongue but I think I wrote that unambiguously. No, I wish to grow number of packages but not at cost of lowering "the quality bar". If it can't meet quality requirements, I'd rather reject the package. People are frustrated about the bureaucracy of the process because they see package submission as their goal. But from the distribution POV it is just beginning and all that rules and quality requirements are set to ease package maintenance - which is something that is important for every other user. It would be nice if people contact either review team, IRC channel or mailing list asking for help before they got frustrated and annoyed. Best regards, S_W
