When you're running csw-upload-pkg, it's too late. All such information must be inside the package, and that means it has to be done in GAR. Probably as a field in pkginfo. >> I want to ask this question.

But it is! We only need to talk about some details. I think I understand the idea: you want to be able to contribute without taking on other associated burden, right? This is definitely worth implementing. IIUC, the problem you're addressing is this: 1. When you upload a package, you become the package owner/maintainer. 2. A package owner/maintainer is responsible for everything that's associated with the package, e.g. any current and future bugs. 3. You have a small contribution to make. 4. The benefit of the contribution does not outweigh the burden. 5. Therefore, you do not make the contribution. You think that #2 is fine and you want to fix #1. I think that #1 is fine and I want to fix #2.
