Coincidentally, I just wrote about the same thing :-). I can only agree that IMO less maintainers will lead to increased responsibility and shorter response times when it comes to package submissions between projects. Yet, I'm unsure if this will also help raising awareness of issues within Factory. Nonetheless, it's worth discussing.
And just for the record: I'm maintainer of many projects I would not dare accepting submissions because I don't know anything about most packages in the project, simply because I do maintain one package in there. Example: Publishing (because of pdftk), Base:System (because of bluez, suspend), server:mail (leafnode, mailsync), even X11:Utilities (tuxcursors :-) Especially Base:System and server:mail are rather scary :-) While I do care about pdftk and bluez, I simply don't feel too comfortable about accepting e.g. mkinitrd or udev or perl-Bootloader into Base:System, simply because I don't know much about them. So I do ignore those requests. I did some accept recently when the "pending SR" alarms were raised on packaging, mostly when the people who submitted the fix were "known good submitters" or the diffs were trivially correct or such, but I did not feel comfortable about that. So I would not feel offended about having my maintainer rights revoked on many of those repositories :-) -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
