Esteemed ArchLinux Developers,
Partially because Aaron asked for it and thinks it is cool and
partially because all those [signoff] e-mails in my inbox are kind of
boring to me (as a non-packager), I have implemented a web based
signoff mechanism into archweb_dev.
https://dev.archlinux.org/packages/signoffs/
Nice work! I think this is a great idea too.
I only see one potential problem...what if someone accidentaly clicks
signoff on the wrong package? For instance, I didn't really test the
cracklib, but I couldn't resist the urge to click it!
I can easily add 'unsignoff' functionality, but I'm not sure its
necessary; this isn't the general public we're talking about and an
e-mail to the maintainer saying "Ignore my signoff on package x" might
suffice.
But its up to you guys, its probably a matter of 10 minutes to add a
view for removing a signoff.

Well, that would be a great addition, and also, packages from core are
the only ones supposed to be put through the signoff proccess. I know
this one might be a bit harder to implement, maybe not.
We should keep the packages from extra on the list as it can always be
useful for packages like the servers or the kernel modules. What would be
nice would be to seperate the core packages from the extra packages and
to have the core packages listed first as they are the ones
requiring signoffs. If it's too hard/impossible to do, then keeping them
in alphabetical order is fine.
