Richard by himself does not have the "cloud" that factory maintainers has, thus a call for help from Richard will be much less effective and he is left mostly to his own devices As said earlier: if it's important for others, they will help. If it's only important for Richard, then it's perfectly fine for openSUSE not to have it. But gcc is a bad example for that.
Let's take a "someone wants to move random binaries around" example, seems more real life to me ;)
- How do we prevent the model of "promoting package maintainers to staging project managers" from stalling progress?
We actually *do* want to stall if we have to choose between progress and stability. I think most on factory mailing agreed here.
The natural reaction of many package maintainers to the newly acquired responsibility will probably be "I didn't ask for this, I don't want to do it". Now we are stuck. I'd like to avoid this as this would spell trouble.
I don't think so and only time will show who of us is right. No need to continue arguing about this point IMO.
"promotion". Secondly I would urge that we find a team of "dedicated stage tree managers" that can help out wherever necessary. This will be dump and run with a different target then. I don't need that.
