Why does it need to be the "preferred way"? It's one out of multiple ways that's been working fine for Red Hat employees too, isn't it? Do we know anything at all about any new contributors, who have tried to become a co-maintainer of a package and have been rejected? Are there any problems, such as current "owners" fearing they lose control over a package? Or maintainers, who think a team would be more of a hindrance than a benefit? I guess there are enough packages in the collection, which are used by more people than the single packager. And there are some packagers, who own more packages they can handle. The next time you submit an update request (or a patch) in bugzilla, it's the perfect opportunity to look into becoming a co-maintainer. Or you may want to take care of F21 only? That is possible in pkgdb. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
