... I'm not sure if we should have a pretty strict rule to give at least a bit of time to the maintainer even if they look really simple. There could be several reasons which cannot be known by project maintainers for example. Another solution could be to have a really easy and quick to use "revert" feature in the webui
I think in general it is bad when a project maintainer ignores explicitly specified package maintainers. If there exists one or more explicitly specified package maintainers, then anyone else should normally leave any issue for the explicit package maintainers decision up to a reasonable waiting time. In the other mail thread there was a proposal that the default waiting time should be one week. I think this makes sense. Exceptions could be things like an urgent security fix that is a simple change in the code - but even in this case explicit package maintainers should get involved. In contrast from my point of view a normal bugfix that is a simple change in the code is no reason to ignore explicit package maintainers. I am against a "revert" feature because I think this cannot really work well: Assume a project maintainer who ignores explicitly specified package maintainers "just accepts" a change and also forwards it to Factory on Friday afternoon... In the end I think what is acutally missing is communication in advance First the one who submits a change ignores the explicitly specified package maintainers because he did not contact them in advance to tell them what he likes to do before he does his submitrequest. Then the one who accepts such a submitrequest also ignores the explicitly specified package maintainers. Perhaps a technical help to avoid that package maintainers are ignored might be an automated review request that needs to be accepted by a package maintainer within a reasonable waiting time (e.g. one week)?
