-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everybody,
after a recent discussion about a perceived disconnect between "main processes" and "universe processes", I thought a bit about the process for NEW Packages. Historically it was introduced to make sure that new packages are of tip-top quality when they enter the archive. We started with 3 necessary ACKs and changed it to 2 ACKs for non-MOTUs and encouraged MOTUs to get an ACK from other MOTUs. I feel we've been very successful with the work we've put into Universe and the quality of new packages. I propose the following changes: 1) cut down the requirement to one ACK of a ubuntu-dev member 2) requirement for the person who packaged the new software to become bug contact These changes would have a number of benefits: - it would cut down the review overhead and the time of waiting - instead of a high entry barrier, have a higher emphasis on fixing problems of packages in Universe - higher similarity between NEW Packages process and Sponsoring process - accredit technical skills of approved ubuntu-dev members and don't require re-review I'd like to hear feedback from regular reviewers, REVU admins, our REVU coordinator and people who contribute new packages.
