Thanks for the explanation, as the boxes in the proposal was not easy to follow with my eyes ;) Michal> 2.2) The submitter coordinates with people who maintain packages Michal> that got broken.

The fixes can be done in the devel Michal> projects or directly in the staging project. I am not sure I understand how this one work. For example in one of the gcc staging phase, there was a list of broken packages sent to factory list. I am thinking we want to automate this, rather than sending a list of packages that is manually compiled and send to factory. So in this new approach how is it planned to coordinate effort to fix the failing packages ? Michal> This is just a proposal on how staging projects could work.
