Now this has gone back and forth. The system worked more or less ok. Maybe it is more about the changes (and communication) of a specific provenpackager? There has been a recent thread "stop messing with other people packages", and Iwonder who the mentioned proven packager was in that case. I had once a case, where even a bug was filed by the pp, the change submitted and bug closed after. I was online and reading emails at that time, but I didn't had the chance to react. I asked the pp to wait for my reaction in a reasonable time before doing that again. Unfortunately, some time later, the same proven packager changed something else. It was just a cosmetic change, and he didn't even try to contact me, neither via irc, nor email or bugzilla. So, maybe this is just caused by the behaviour of a single person?
