there are several subjects raised by this thread. 1. Who should have closed RT130561? The gatekeeper that merged the change that "FIXED" the ticket but only after the gerrit ticket and the commit sha1 were added as comments to the RT ticket AND only if the change was not going to be pulled up to another branch. 2. Who runs OpenAFS RT? OpenAFS relies upon the central.org RT for services. We do this so that the OpenAFS gatekeepers do not need to be sysadmin for RT. central.org is maintained by Jeffrey Hutzelman and Chaskiel Grundman. 3. Who should have RT accounts? In theory, any legitimate user that wants to submit a bug report. This has proven hard to do in the past because an open account registration process previous resulted in many false accounts being created that were in turn used to deface RT. Not just for OpenAFS but for the other services that rely on the central.org RT. There is certainly a broader list of active community members that could be given accounts. A list needs to be generated and given to the RT administrator. 4. What privileges should individuals that have accounts be granted? The ability to resolve tickets is at this point limited to the gatekeepers and a small number of individuals that have a track record of fixing bugs that are reported to RT. I don't know the specific privileges that each individual account holder has because I am not an administrator for RT and do not have privileges to make changes. Jeffrey Altman
