Feature changed by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #314593, revision 4 Title: Package Maintainer Handling - Buildservice: Evaluation by engineering manager + Buildservice: Done Milestone: 2.4 Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The goal is to drop PDB for handling maintainership of packages. As consequence we need to have an easy interface (webui and osc) to find out the responsible person or team for a given package. The user should just be able to enter a package name or a disturl to find the right person. OBS always needs a project and package context to find the bugowner or maintainer. Therefore we need to specify a default project to search in. The following UI and workflow is suggested: UI offers just a text field beside a combo box. The combo box is set to the default marked project (eg. openSUSE:Factory). Aftwards also all maintenance_release projects shall be listed. Last but not least maybe an option to specify any other project. The UI shall check if it finds a source package container with the given name. If this fails it should search via binarie search. The returned project/package container needs to be checked for a devel area. The UI shows first defined bugowner if defined or maintainer as fall back. - Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Obsolete PDB. + Business case (Partner benefit): Internal needs: Obsolete PDB.
