Greetings, For the entire history of Fedora adding new packages, requesting new branches for existing packages and other similar requests have been done via copying and pasting a template into a bugzilla bug, where it was scraped by a script to process the requests.
With recent additions to pkgdb2, we are now able to replace this error prone and manual process. I've created: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageDB_admin_requests with further information. Basically requests now can be made directly in pkgdb (optionally pulling information from bugzilla). We have modified our processing script that checks for requests in bugzilla to make a note about the new process and unset the old fedora-cvs flag. Note: The new process remains manual for new packages, so there will still be a delay between when you make the request and when it is processed for them. FMN will announce you when the request is processed and the branch is created. Please let us know at: https://github.com/fedora-infra/pkgdb2/issues or https://fedorahosted.org/pkgdb2/ if you run into any issues with the process. kevin
