Other people have had problems with alioth too: - write permissions on VCS directory for new projects - mailing list creation requests waiting for admin approval On non-Debian sites (e.g. Sourceforge, github) things like this are fully automated (for better or worse). For mailing lists: - could list creation be fully automated if they are on a debian.net subdomain? - could all DDs be given rights to approve alioth.d.o mailing list creation (with a dispute process for any controversial approvals)? For repositories: - would moving to a single tool (e.g. Git) make it easier to automate and help to eliminate the bugs we currently see on alioth? - could we have a debian.org solution (alioth or elsewhere) that automatically mirrors all Git repositories that DDs maintain themselves on github or other public locations? Any of these things could help reduce the admin burden, maybe there are other approaches too? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
