But don't expect that one person can fix all the rest because he's updating one package... you might loose that one contributor taking care of a few packages and being willing to help fix others, if he feels he's *responsible* for all the other failings.
That's actually a very big point here. We already lost contributors because factory-auto does some checks now that require to clean up your spec file. Now to be honest, our main goal should be to have fun. But this fun applies to all parts, so while it should be fun to update packages (at least to those that can take fun out of it - we're a special kind :), it also has to be working well enough for those that use it. And I agree. If you can't update glib to the latest upstream version because xteddy maintainer won't act on your mails, fun stops and you take some other activity to spend your work time on. But that's why my first and (so far undoubted) idea was to have more people working on all packages. And these guys then have to fix xteddy to make this whole process work.
