Nice - so on one hand, the current guidelines want to follow openSUSE as strict as possible (not allowing updates, reviewing packages before they appear in the repo) - and on the other hand, every packager can do whatever he want after his package is initially approved. *shaking my head*
Why is this bad? From what I can say, the people contributing showed a high level of responsibility.
If people showing a high level of responsibility - why has every new package from them be reviewed by the repo maintainers? - why don't you give the maintainers access to the whole repository? The current situation is something in between trusting people (to be able to maintain their packages without any further review) and not trusting people (not allowing them do submit whatever they like). "Your package needs a review for the first submission - if this is done, you're trusted - whatever you have in mind...." That's not what we have in place with the official openSUSE repository. But if you do not follow the openSUSE guidelines, why do you tell people that you do? ("In general Contrib has the same rules as Factory, [...]" [1])
If this stops being the case, we can still add an additional review step.
If endusers (who read your rules about "Packages need to go trough the contrib review process"[2]) initial report data loss as result of a packager doing ugly things, you change - what? * Your rules telling people that every package goes through the review process? * Your rules telling people that "Packages are owned by reviewers"?[3] and "Everything is handled by osc submitreq and goes trough a review " ? ...interesting...
