Hi,
I know we have had this discussion/appeal before but it appears it has not reached everyone yet.
To those that have the power to accept SRs on the behalf of others please be so kind and give package maintainers at least a few days before you accept submit request.
What is the point of having individual package maintainers when those at the project maintainer or higher level simply accept submit requests for package that they do not really maintain?
This is a discouraging practice and unless as a project maintainer you have the intention to maintain all those packages in the project yourself I suggest you exercise restraint for a few days before you run that accept command.
Well, I don't think waiting for a few days unconditionally is good, it'd just slow down the process without much gain. Majority of people assigned as package maintainer still ignore the requests unless they are project maintainers.
For the package I care that strongly, I set myself as reviewer. Project maintainers do have the power to ignore this, but so far I have to say, I didn't see anybody doing this (which is good).
My recommendation is: - Project maintainers are there to maintain the ENTIRE project (meta data incl. packages) - Package maintainers are limited to a specific package / group of packages. But they are not on their own
- If a package maintainer commits sufficiently to be 'the only responsible', he should mark himself as reviewer of the package
I do not understand that part, you want to be the maintainer additionaly be reviewer in a package in some devel project? What does this help you? Isn't it more a burden to accept first the review and afterwards the request?
My understanding is that the point is that this makes the review by this maintainer mandatory for acceptance. Otherwise the project manager may pick up the change without package maintainer's review.
