I know that screen well. I'm saying that the settings were likely in that position because the module was migrated from a personal namespace. That's not how modules are setup by default in the GNOME namespace.

There are many ways to workaround or fix this (as mentioned in my previous email) without allowing implicitly or explicitly the release team to commit directly to the main development branches, so I don't see why we would need to make an exception for that case. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
