As someone who has read every email in this chain, I have a couple of recommendations.
1. Clarify that the GR does not prevent future flexibility in changing the tag2upload service and does not give Sean Whitton, Ian Jackson, Jonathan McDowell, or Russ Allbery perpetual power to direct how it is implemented. This was already discussed as the intent, but I think it should be clearer in the GR itself who has authority to implement and manage tag2upload going forward. My recommendation is that either, 1) the tag2upload service should come under the implementation and management umbrella of the ftpmasters delegation, or, 2) the DPL should create a new delegation to implement and manage the tag2upload service. The DPL might consider appointing one or more of the four people listed above as either ftpmasters or to the new delegation (assuming they are interested and willing). For example, below is possible text for how this could be written into the GR. BEGIN FORMAL RESOLUTION TEXT - POSSIBLE TEXT tag2upload allows DDs and DMs to upload simply by using the git-debpush(1) script to push a signed git tag. Work has been done to implement tag2upload, but the ftpmasters have been reticent to integrate the service with dak. 1. Under Constitution §4.1(3), we overrule the ftpmaster delegation’s decision: The Debian archive should be configured to accept and trust uploads from the tag2upload service. 2. The implementation and maintenance of the tag2upload service may fall under the ftpmasters delegation or a new delegation at the DPL’s discretion. 3. Nothing in this resolution should be taken as requiring maintainers to use tag2upload or any particular git or salsa workflow. END FORMAL RESOLUTION TEXT - POSSIBLE TEXT 2. Once people have had time to suggest any other possible versions of the GR and Sean Whitton has settled on a final text, I would recommend we proceed to the formal GR process. At this point, I don’t think there is much technical or other discussion that is going to happen on debian-vote that hasn’t already been covered. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
