1) How frozen is frozen?
As far as I understand, contrib will contain Contrib:Factory => current development Contrib:<release> => frozen repository
Correct.
Each maintainer should maintain his package for Contrib:Factory and Contrib:<release>, right?
Yes.
Really? I think that we talk that every maintainer lost the permissions after freeze and updates will be handled via submitreq.
I understood that the question was about maintainership and not about how to submit something. So about who is responsible for doing the patch. And this is the maintainer for both Factory:Contrib and 11.2:Contrib.
I don't see any big advantages of this rule in Contrib, which contains at least leaf packages (like apg, or gle-graphics). I suppose we should be less strict and allow a version update in frozen repository when it will be necessary.
We can phrase this differently. The rule is that new features are strongly discouraged (this is actually how it is handled in Factory). Does that sound better?
Yes, it sound better.
BTW: I suggest adapt a Fedora Maintainers Policy [2] for Contrib, because those things needs to be written!
I'm against writing down common sense stuff. Makes life complicated :)
It makes things more clear (even a maintenance of this documentation is not easy), because everyone will knows what to do if <something>. Currently we don't know who will be able to do an update in frozen Contrib, because we didn't write it as a rule. We don't want how to deal with non-responsing maintainers, ... I think that distribution with community participation as Debian or Fedora has these rules, because they're necessary.
