I tend to agree with changing the joining policy of ubuntu-universe-contributors. This leads to the question who adds people to the team? The administrators of that team would need to decide who is able to submit packages for review and who is not. Given that the group we are talking about is expected to still learn about packaging, we cannot use that as criterium. > Note that these contributors will effectively also become filters, > through which, under their responsability, everybody would still be able > to upload new packages for review. Right, the ppl could sponsor anyone. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
