[opensuse-gnome] Package submissions to G:C

Aloha all,
Trying to be a good boy and use the tools available, I have made a
couple of package submissions using osc for G:C. Now granted I could
just add the packages without any form of submission, but thought it
best to do it "the correct way". The problem comes I think in that we
don't actually have a nominated packaging team or packaging
gatekeeper, I'm not sure it's needed but it could well be. I have a
couple of submit requests outstanding for approval/rejection, they are
#4883 and #4885.
I could just approve these myself, but I think that kind of defeats
the point of doing a submitreq. So my question is kind of two fold:
1) Do we need to set up some form of package submission auditing so
those packages going into G:C are suitable.
2) Could someone have a look at my requests and action them please?
One reason I think having a team/gatekeeper is good is that G:C has a
bit of a bad reputation for being somewhat a broken repo, causing
conflicts/breakages etc. Personally I have had very little issues
with the packages in G:C but then again I wouldn't now would I? :-)
I have at least one possibly more packages I'd like to move to G:C and
keep my home repo as a playground (kind of what it's designed for),
and also I'd like to get some other packages that are already in the
Build Service submitted to G:C. I was asked why not just submit it to
Contrib and that's a valid point; to which my answer is Contrib is
currently only for Factory (11.2 and above) and some people would like
to use these packages now, also I feel G:C is a better staging area
for Contrib certainly for GNOME based apps and one that is widely
available and limits the number of repos someone needs to have
enabled.
Discussion welcome as is action ;-)
Regards,
Andy
