It is mostly anyway bounded by technical constraints, if you can put stuff into a project or not. So it would not make sense to sort this software via this.

If there are no objections I will merge mentioned games:* projects into one later today. Adrian (or anyone from OBS team): could you please create games project in OBS root and me as a maintaner of it? I will take care of the rest.

Pavol, I think it's a good idea... I was always in favour of having them all together. Having the package manager front end separating them again makes sense.. but for the repository, it's just 'games'. In general, I think sometimes the repository structure is a bit 'over engineered' and to many splits are done. The user rights are one thing of concern: games will now have approx 30 - 40 comiters I think, number is probably growing. One issue I can see there is the way people are approved to write in a project. I remember myself: basically asking on the ML and a few minutes later the rights are granted. This is very good for the growth of the system, but how can we guarantee a certain level of trust for the user like this? The suggested trust model so far is nice, but as long as all those information is only on the web and not in any package manager, they are most likely never to be seen. But that's another discussion... so in short: put them all together! Can we have this announced also on news and on the announcement mailinglist? I see already several threads starting on the support lists that the games repos do no longer work.
