Hi,

CCing list, maybe someone have another opinion.

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/python-modules/packages/mpmath.git/tree/debian/control#n4
Maintainer: Sandro Tosi 
Uploaders: Debian Python Modules Team <
python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org>

so according to: http://python-modules.alioth.debian.org/policy.html

Team in Uploaders is a weak statement of collaboration. Help in maintaining
the package is appreciated,* commits to the git repository are freely
welcomed*, but before uploading, please contact the Maintainer for the
green light.

Package I commited to is team maintained. If you don't want anyone commit
to it, why is it inside DPMT? I'm not going to upload it without prior
authorization from you.

I'm sorry, but it's impossible to me to make list of "bans packages" or
"banned maintainer".

Thank you.

so eventually you could declare your intention of "fixing
debian/copyright" to the list before starting this operation?

so should I send mail to mailing list before any intention to commit
anything? :)

I'm just going thru Lintian report and fixing few warnings. If you have any
concerns about my change(s), just ping me on IRC or via email/mailing list
with explanation where you see problem. But don't send me "don't not touch,
it's me" email please - that's not how collaborative work should work.

Thanks.

well, collaborative work kinda requires agreement on what that work
would be, and also is not that collaborative to commit whatever you
see fit and then let somebody else deal with it in a next upload. but
hey "it's me"...

But why get pre-approval for *this* particular commit?  Which change do you
have a problem with?  I genuinely want to know because I do think we need to
have clear guidelines about what our teammates are allowed to work on.

A while ago, we did hash out the semantics of team in Maintainers vs
Uploaders.  Because commits are always reversible, I don't have any problem
with our current rules for team-in-Uploaders.  It's the compact we make by
having team maintained packages, and I for one think it's a good trade-off.  I
appreciate the help in cleaning up our collective packages.

I think we should generally assume that our teammates know what they're doing
and have the skills and courtesy to follow the rules.  I recently noticed that
Ondrej committed some changes to fix our Vcs- urls to https, and I think that
was a nice thing to do!

For a mass change like this, Ondrej should have followed up with an email to
the list.  But he wasn't outside the bounds to make the change.

Cheers,
-Barry

the point is not for this specific commit (and I jbrought this up to
him once i got this email as it was the second package I am maintainer
for receiving this change)

>  Which change do you have a problem with?

debian/copyright is a rather delicate (and sometimes annoying, let's
face it) file, a change to it requires the one doing the upload to
actually check that what's been updated actually matches reality,
which is just extra/unplanned work

yeah but changing copyright is a little bit more intrusive than fixing
a typo or s/http/https/

like we assume with sponsorees, but still we double check everything they do

and in fact i havent said anything (even if it could have been
announced to the list and the commit message could have been a *lot*
better, but that might be categorized as nitpicking)

so you don't want to check my change before upload, because it's extra
work. You are saying d/copyright change should be checked harder than
d/rules change for example?

I think uploader/sponsor should hard check ALL changes. There isn't any
more delicate part of package. If you don't want check d/copyright, just
revert my commit(s) before upload. That's git for. You are uploader, so you
make decision what you upload. If you don't want do this, just change
Uploader field to team and someone will do it for you :)

yeah but changing copyright is a little bit more intrusive than fixing

it's just point of view. More intrusive is "completly rewrite d/rules" for
me. I renamed shortname to match
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ which
removed Lintian warning, that's all.

and in fact i havent said anything (even if it could have been

announced before:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/python-modules-team/2016-March/030256.html

Be constructive now please: Do you found any really problem/bug in my
commit(s)? If yes, send it to me and i will fix it.

Thanks.

In future, far better to use the debian-pyt...@lists.debian.org mailing
list; less likely to get missed.

Having said that I did see the email, and I was happy with it. I didn't
notice it was the wrong mailing list though :-(.

It does cause confusion for people who are familar with the team, having
the aloith as the Maintainer field - people use this expecting to be
able to contact the Maintainer... Sometimes I will resend emails to
debian-pyt...@lists.debian.org when I see this happen.
